The pharaoh's daughter

I was smearing blood above the door when she came floating past On a litter inlaid with the idol Bast And I knew that I was trapped That I'd follow her and be her fool though I'm a holy man But the scriptures never said a girl could move around like that And her eyes threw me the kind of glance That says, "I've killed more prophets than you've ever seen" Mine said, "talk dirty like that" Well the King was dying in his bed as our frozen nation mourned So we set out looking for a virgin girl To keep his body warm And though she was found and stripped down bare And brought into his room He said, "I'm sure you're very nice but I'm never touching you My appetite is gone from lack of use But you could tell me your name and the time of day And what the kids are into" She was all doe-like and white enshawled As changeable as Spring When she reached out so I could kiss her hand I almost swallowed her ring And I was scared I'd lie with her and then be struck down dead Or that when I would close my eyes she'd shave my sleeping head And that night I silenced all my prayers And I gave my love to the heathen girl But first I cut my hair The sovereign's breath was running short and for his last decree He said, "the harem must go to the eldest son I can't take them with me Cause my body's had enough And my love is coming unstuck And I'm a testament to the fact death will win But death is a loser to the holy love So take me I'm done" It's embarrassing to be so in love with you It's embarrassing to be so in love with you I sat beside you in the service Did you touch my hand on purpose? I can't believe the way that you look So I wrote in your prayer book While the preacher's voice shook "I want my virginity took"
