You never knew I was born with an Egyptian curse?
Those west coast Dreams and Late night visions
Belong to the highway and the life that I’m living
So you best you be leaving unless you must see
The power that the street has invested in me
You want a free ride but man that just wont do
Seen a thousand grave robbers disguised just like you

You never knew I was born with an Egyptian curse?
Does no harm to me but for you it gets worse
Grandpa went digging in the pyramids long ago
Came back with the power but left all the gold

No need to be psychic to know that you’re wrong
No need to be famous to sing along to this song
In gas town I rode streetcars through hail and smoke
While you talked in your circles and choked while you joked
You never done nothing and now time will tell
How you’ve kicked through the surface and re opened hell

You never knew I was born with an Egyptian curse?
Does no harm to me but for you it gets worse
Grandpa went digging in the pyramids long ago
Came back with the power but left all the gold

Yes west coast man you’ll see a sharp burning light
When you sleep in your bed and you turn to the right
Yeah the truth just got brighter but who would of known?
That you’d come back to steal the things you don’t own
This army has horses that run on stainless steel
And I’ll shows you again boss that the blues is for real

You never knew I was born with an Egyptian curse?
Does no harm to me but for you it gets worse
Grandpa went digging in the pyramids long ago
Came back with the power but left all the gold
