Egyptomania Lyrics

I took my baby to the top of the world
I took her there she was my favorite girl
On the pyramid and up to the top, yeah
Girl of my love girl of my dreams you don't know what this really means
Grab my knife and I start to cry, stabbed her body fourteen times
Egyptomania, I'm goin'
Cairo-Go-Go was a favorite spot, drinks were so-so but they got me off
Did the shimmy 'til the break of dawn, yeah
Tonight Egyptian moon, palm trees, sand and you.
Blood on my face, blood on her arms she was the girl with the Egypto charm.
Egytopmania, Egypto!
I took my baby to the top of the world.
I took her there she was my favorite girl.
We went down into the tut one day
but now that's alright got nothin' to say.
Egyptomania, I'm goin'.

Emperor Hadrian (AD 76–138), who visited Egypt himself in AD 130, had his deceased lover Antinous venerated as Osiris, the Egyptian god of the underworld. In October 130, as they were part of a flotilla going along the Nile, Antinous died amid mysterious circumstances. Various suggestions have been put forward for how he died, ranging from an accidental drowning to an intentional human sacrifice or suicide.
