[Verse 1] We landed in Cairo, dust in our shoes Sun beating down, nothing to lose Dr. Toro said, “Stick close, you’ll see,” “The heart of this place runs deep like the sea.” Valentino’s got that look in his eyes Face is scribblin’ ancient lines Shade took a pic of Tutankhamun’s face Flashed too bright — nearly caught a case [Pre-Chorus] “Hey man, no flash!” The guards got loud Shade just smiled and slipped through the crowd Laughed it off with a wink and a grin Said, “Let’s roll — the story begins.” [Chorus] We’re doctors on the Nile Laughin’, learnin’, takin’ our time Sippin’ tea by a roadside stand Stories flowin’ like desert sand From Cairo down to Aswan town We never let the moment drown We might be smart, but we still get wild Yeah, we’re doctors — on the Nile [Verse 2] In Luxor town, the markets glow Toro tells us what the ancients know At Horus’ temple, it’s just our crew Stone and silence, sky so blue Bodie’s cracking jokes in the heat Corbin’s tired, just shuffling his feet Valentino says, “New guy’s slow” We laugh as the falcons circle low [Chorus] We’re doctors on the Nile Laughin’, learnin’, takin’ our time Sketchin’ glyphs in the desert air Singing songs without a care From temple gates to open skies We’re wanderers in a grand disguise The stories grow with every mile Yeah, we’re doctors — on the Nile [Bridge] On the road to Aswan, the night got tense Shadows moved past the sandstone fence Toro said, “Quiet. Don’t make a sound.” We slipped through safe — no one turned around Then Corbin jumped, eyes open wide Valentino laughed ‘til he nearly cried “Man, you’re green — but you’ll survive,” We rolled on under starry skies [Final Chorus] We’re doctors on the Nile With sunburnt hands and crooked smiles Faces lit by ancient flames Chasing echoes, learning names From Cairo dust to Nubian sand We ride along, a healing band The world’s a book, and for a while We’re doctors — on the Nile [Outro – Spoken or soft sung] Dr. Toro… lead the way The story’s not done today
