Tom Verlaine - Ancient Egypt [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

The minute I lay my head on the pillow
I'm in ancient Egypt; I can feel it glow
Warm and gold
Gold and warm
And I'll see you there, all dressed in raindrops
Need I explain? I don't think so, Pops
Warm and gold
Gold and warm

[Chorus]
I've been working
I've been chopping wood
And this makes me a hungry man
And every time I
Look up in my dream
I feel the touch of your sweet hand

I sit here now and watch you rub your leg
You tell me baby, that's just okay
Okay, okay
Okay
And I like to watch that ripple effect
As long as there is no shipwreck
Yes I do
Oh, yes I do

[Chorus]
Yes, I used to have one or two reservations
So what?
Well, so what?
It's a likely story, it's not hard to tell
Maybe you and I will be in for a spell
In and out
Out and in

[Chorus]
Yeah, I've been working
I've been chopping wood
And this makes me a hungry man
And every time I
Look up in my dream
I feel the touch of your sweet hand
