Straight from ancient Egypt (Two Layers Mix)

[spoken intro, enthusiastic, megaphone] Straight from ancient Egypt, Coming at ya with a tale you might have heard. Please all welcome the one and only... the almighty... the everlasting... Tut-Amun-Ra-Sep-Re-Tep the 3rd *APPLAUSE* [Verse 1] I woke up in a glass case, dust in my eyes, Been dead for millennia, now I rise. Museum nights, I break out, ready to explore, But the 21st century, what a crazy chore. [Verse 2] Saw a box with moving pictures, they call it TV, Flashing lights and sounds, what's it want from me? People talk to glowing slabs, ignoring those around, In my pyramid, we'd never let such madness abound. [instrumental pre-chorus] [chorus, pounding bass] I'm a mummy, out of time, lost in your world, Everything’s so weird, got my bandages unfurled. I'm a Pharaoh, feeling low, in this techno show, In this future age, I’m the one who doesn’t know. [rythmic instrumental solo] [Bridge] Tried to hail a chariot, but they zoom right by, In metal beasts, they roar, under smog-filled sky. No servants to obey, no gold to be found, Just noise and chaos, spinning me around. [melodic instrumental solo] [Verse 3] Food comes in plastic, not a feast in sight, Scrolls replaced by screens, glowing in the night. People worship money, not the sun or the moon, In this crazy century, I'm just a dusty goon. [verse 4] Back to my sarcophagus, where things made sense, In this modern jungle, I'm too dense. Wrap me up tight, put me back on display, I’ll stick to haunting museums, come night or day. [Hook] they built me a pyramid touching the sky, dressed me in gold, I should never die next to my tomb there is now a skyscraper and all that I wear is toilet paper. [chorus, pounding bass] I'm a mummy, out of time, lost in your world, Everything’s so weird, got my bandages unfurled. I'm a Pharaoh, feeling low, in this techno show, In this future age, I’m the one who doesn’t know. [long epic instrumental solo] [repeated solo, intensified] [Instrumental outro]
