Godley & Creme - Joey's Camel Lyrics

Font:

Align:

Dear Mother

I'm lying on a white hot blanket

wishing you were here

we're a thousand miles from Cairo

and it's taken us a year to get this far

Dear Mother

I've grown a beard in the last three weeks

and I can't see nothing but sand

you wouldn't recognize me Mother

but I know you'd understand

Dear Mother

we spend the nights under canvas

dreaming of ice cold beer

and we spend the days in the desert

I miss you Mother dear

Riding on Joey's camel

(how did you escape?)

Riding on Joey's camel

(how did you escape?)

Dear Mother

we found the Ten Commandments, Mother

just like I said we would

but somebody broke our compass, Mother

and the water is no good

And Beau said it was sabotage

so I laughed at him and said

Mother wouldn't let that happen, Beau

but Beau was dead

So I left him in the sand dunes

and I struck out on my own

with a page of hieroglyphics

and the tablets of stone

Riding on Joey's camel

(how did you escape?)

Riding on Joey's camel

(how did you escape?)

Dear Mother

they attacked while I was sleeping

dreaming of ice cold beer

but when they saw what I was carrying

they backed away in fear

They said the hand of God is upon you

it is written on the wall, dear Mother

they must have thought I was Elijah or something

with the beard and all!

So they led me down to the catacombs

the walls were lined with bones

and a voice said he'd give me three of his wives

for just a glimpse of the stones

Dear Mother

I said that I had lost them

they were buried in the shifting sands

but they said if I didn't give them the tablets

they'd cut off both of my hands, Mother

Riding on Joey's camel

(how did you escape?) dear Mother

Riding on Joey's camel

(how did you escape?) Mother

Dear Mother

I'm running out of water, Mother

the map was a fake

now I'm stuck on the Devil's anvil, Mother

payin' for Beau's mistake

I woke up in a sandstorm

I'd had a terrible dream

I'd broken the Ten Commandments, Mother

I began to scream

But something else was out there

following the scent

and it cast the shadow of a cobra

on the walls of the tent

Riding on Joey's camel

(how did you escape?)

Riding on Joey's camel

(how did you escape?)

Dear Mother

I hadn't got a rifle

or a dagger or a sword

so my only other weapon

as the word of the Lord

So when it wrapped itself around my body

and it started crushing bones

I had to make a decision, Mother

it was me or the stones

Riding on Joey's camel

(how did you escape?)

Riding on Joey's camel

(how did you escape?)

Dear Mother

I'm lying on a white hot blanket

wishing you were here

I'm a thousand miles from Cairo

and it's taken me a year to get this far

to get this far

Riding on Joey's camel

(how did you escape?)

Riding on Joey's camel

(how did you escape
