John Cale - Crazy Egypt lyrics

Rolling through the Mardi Gras
Madman on the loose
That's where I met Egypt selling
Antiques from a caboose
She's not giving discounts or anything away
What do you say? What have you got?
What do you say? What have you got?

In risky stock adventures
The back end might be sweet
Microsoft is nothing
Your money's safe with me
I made a decent offer
You stared off into space
You countered my proposal by
Laughing in my face
What do you say? What do you
Say? What do you say?

I jump into the river, dance on burning coals
Wrestle alligators or sleep out in the cold
What do you say? You say I'm crazy, Egypt?
(Crazy! Crazy)
What do you say? Who, me? I'm crazy, Egypt?
(Crazy! Crazy)

Santa's in the garden
The sharks are in the hall
Juke's playing Dixie Cups greatest hit's, aw
What do you mean? C'mon now
What do you mean?

I'll sell you down the river
On the dotted line
A reasonable assumption: even
Losers win sometime
Empty out your pockets, chase your tail
Creep down the escalade or to Elysian fields
What do I think? I think you're crazy, Egypt
(Crazy) what do I say? I say
What I think: you're crazy, egypt!
(Crazy! Crazy)

Me, I'm walking out of here
Emptying the till
I'm calling up your lawyers and
Giving you the bill
That's what I think that's what I think
I think you've got trouble, Egypt!
(Trouble, Crazy! Crazy)

The yankee on Canal St doesn't
Know which side he's on
You buy me the election, I'll sell you Japan
From an Algiers motel window
To a debutante's affair
You've got everything you wanted
And you're still crazy, egypt!
(Crazy) you've got everything you wanted
And you're still crazy, egypt!
(Crazy)
You've got everything, everything you wanted
And you're still crazy, egypt!
(Crazy! Crazy! Aah)
