Ego Tripping (there may be a reason why)
I walked to the fertile crescent and built
I designed a pyramid so tough that a star
that only glows every one hundred years falls
into the center giving divine perfect light
drinking nectar with allah
I got hot and sent an ice age to europe
My oldest daughter is nefertiti
the tears from my birth pains
I gazed on the forest and burned
with a packet of goat's meat
I crossed it in two hours
so swift you can't catch me
For a birthday present when he was three
I gave my son hannibal an elephant
He gave me rome for mother's day
My strength flows ever on
My son noah built new/ark and
I stood proudly at the helm
as we sailed on a soft summer day
I turned myself into myself and was
men intone my loving name
I am the one who would save
I sowed diamonds in my back yard
My bowels deliver uranium
the filings from my fingernails are
My nose giving oil to the arab world
I am so hip even my errors are correct
I sailed west to reach east and had to round off
The hair from my head thinned and gold was laid
I am so perfect so divine so ethereal so surreal
I mean . . . I . . . can fly
like a bird in the sky . . .
