lyrics

before the lord and lawrence of arabia
before i was the king
that deep black sea emptied into persia
twelve hundred years b.c.

it is not night or dawn's early light twilight's turquoise delight

where are the greeks, what happened to the ottoman's
constantinopoly
where are the freaks like claudius the roman man
back in forty-three years before...b.c.

it is not night or dawn's early light twilight's turquoise delight

moon and stars stars and bars everything goes away (2)

where are the sheeps and the shepherd of jerusalem
and all the gallant soldiers of chivalerie
who turned their cheeks east unto the holy land
twelve hundred years a.d.

it is not night or dawn's early light twilight's turquoise delight

moon and star stars and bars everything goes away (2)
alex the great henry the eight everything goes away (2)

ww1 they were such bad guys
come world war two they were my allies
they helped me with the north koreans
i gave them half a million reasons
when the turkey vultures leave my skull
you can hear their cries in instanbul
yeah it's alright

say can you see that flag out in the dusk because
it has gotten too dark for me to see

it is not night or dawn's early light twilight's turquoise delight
