Текст (слова) песни: John Wesley Harding - Skyscrapers in Memphis



They say that the dead live forever

And round here well they probably do

If you stand by the gates outside graceland

You can watch all the dead coming through

Its necropolis and welcome to it

Its an archaeological find

Theyll be digging up this town forever

Theyll be digging up this empty mine

The indians stand on the scaffold

Theyve taken the egyptians place

The pharaohs and the politicians

Are planning their perfect escape

So they build a memorial tower

Like the ancient texts said that they would

But stories arent told by the victims

And thats why this storys so good

Have you seen the skyscrapers in memphis

Do you see how they rise like the sun

And the statues they look just like spacemen

Looking down on everyone

And theres art by the yard in the hallways

And our houses are made out of slime

But the skyscrapers almost touch heaven

Did we escape from the mud this time?

So look at the bar-chart skyline

And look at the graph on the wall

But dont you ignore the byline

When the headline says "empire falls"

The buildings get stranger and taller

Til we see that sphinx up on mars

So prepare your most pertinent questions

But please dont expect any answers

One last look round the museum

The one where the bullets still fly

But dont blink if you wish to see them

Puncture the mummys good eye

As the lift hits the five figure numbers

The relics of ages long gone

The tomb of the unknown protest singer

The computer of king tutankhamun

Have you seen the skyscrapers in memphis

Do you see how they rise like the sun

And the statues they look just like spacemen

Looking down on everyone

And theres art by the yard in the hallways

And our houses are made out of slime

But the skyscrapers they almost touch heaven

Did we escape from the mud this time?
