Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Reluctantly, I took the call
Knowing it was from this sphinx
(Sphinx said) "I'm not the one who knows it all
But I've had some pause to think"
[Verse 2]
I've seen kingdoms rise
Empires fall
Some stand tall while
Others shrink
[Verse 3]
Power, power everywhere
Not a single drop to drink
In the desert, that's their drink
It's thirsty work beguiling folk
While mad men hover at the brink
[Verse 4]
We romanced when we were young
In my feline innocence
Kill me, sensual's price has been
To become your conscience
[Verse 5]
Milk you spilled has turned quite sour
Actions have their consequence
Years peel off our at alarm
Memories are the fists they clutch
[Verse 6]
Dear Sphinx, please be succinct
The days are short and I've chores to run
I'm happy that you thought to call
And sorry to be humdrum but kindly summarize
Your conundrum
[Verse 7]
Easy truth is not my thing
I would rather play the riddle game
How can you bow to sink and strum
You always seem to sound the same
[Verse 8]
Well, the scenes I seen and the words I've heard
All swollen in this sea of sand
Of papyrus scripts and barbell phones
Truth and lies and flesh and bones
[Verse 9]
Just a little dust remains
Just a little dust remains
Just a little dust remains
Just a little dust remains
Just a little dust remains
[Verse 10]
The caravan's past
The action fades
To the silence
At the end of songs
To the silence
