The Pharoahs - Neko Case

We were married in the mirrored hall when I was sixteen

You spoke the words, «I love girls in white leather jackets»

That was good enough for love

It was good enough for me

I listened in when you thought you were alone

Calling the Sphinx on a tornado’s phone

Who knows what you meant?

I only heard what I wanted

You said I was your blue, blue baby and you were right

You said I was your blue, blue baby and you were right

You wandered the halls all the night time

My body burned, my legs ached

But you never came to bed, you just left me there awake

You kept me wanting, wanting, wanting

Like the wanting in the movies and the hymns

I want the pharaohs but there’s only men

I want the pharaohs but there’s only men

You said I was your blue, blue baby and you were right

You said I was your blue, blue baby and you were right
