The Pharoahs Lyrics - 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
