Momus - Heliopolis lyrics
[Momus - Heliopolis lyrics]
Bang, bang, bang, bang heliopolis is my town
Where the sun never goes down
The ram of the West they call me
Even the Nubians worship me
Because I rule righteously
The sea divides for me
I don't subtract, my subjects say
I multiply ten times a day
It's the sun that strengthens me
Down in the tomb, up in the yard
Under the pyramids of the sun, uh huh
Other rulers divide, I multiply
So when I die I'm gonna live large
On a solar barge I'll go far
Beloved of Amon Ra
Other pharaohs can't talk
Can't soar like a hawk
Can't stand with the head of a ram
On the very edge of the Aswan dam
In a solar barge with a big harem going
Bang bang bang
The ram of the West they call me
Even the Nubians worship me
Archeologists sift my dust
For a million years I will persist
Like Tutankhamun I'll live large
In the underworld on a solar barge
With the coloured lights, the dancing girls
The dry ice, out of this world
Below me the Nile delta
Everybody running helter skelter
From Thebes to Karnak, party hard
Down in the tomb, up in the yard
Party in the pyramids of the sun
When you're dead the best is yet to come
Through the coloured lights
The dancing girls
The dry ice, out of this world
Below me the Nile delta
Everybody helter skelter
Screaming out their grief for me
But, I'll be sailing above the sea
On a solar barge living large
From Thebes to Karnak, party hard
Down in the tomb, up in the yard
Under the pyramids of the sun
When you're dead the best is yet to come
Bang, bang, bang
Where the sun never goes down
The ram of the West they call me
Even the Nubians worship me
Because I rule righteously
The sea divides for me
I don't subtract, my subjects say
I multiply ten times a day
It's the sun that strengthens me
Down in the tomb, up in the yard
Under the pyramids of the sun, uh huh
Other rulers divide, I multiply
So when I die I'm gonna live large
On a solar barge I'll go far
Beloved of Amon Ra
Other pharaohs can't talk
Can't soar like a hawk
Can't stand with the head of a ram
On the very edge of the Aswan dam
In a solar barge with a big harem going
Bang bang bang
The ram of the West they call me
Even the Nubians worship me
Archeologists sift my dust
For a million years I will persist
Like Tutankhamun I'll live large
In the underworld on a solar barge
With the coloured lights, the dancing girls
The dry ice, out of this world
Below me the Nile delta
Everybody running helter skelter
From Thebes to Karnak, party hard
Down in the tomb, up in the yard
Party in the pyramids of the sun
When you're dead the best is yet to come
Through the coloured lights
The dancing girls
The dry ice, out of this world
Below me the Nile delta
Everybody helter skelter
Screaming out their grief for me
But, I'll be sailing above the sea
On a solar barge living large
From Thebes to Karnak, party hard
Down in the tomb, up in the yard
Under the pyramids of the sun
When you're dead the best is yet to come
Bang, bang, bang
