|
I was born in the congo |
|
I walked to the fertile crescent and built |
|
the sphinx |
|
I designed a pyramid so tough that a star |
|
that only glows every one hundred years falls |
|
into the center giving divine perfect light |
|
I am bad |
|
I sat on the throne |
|
drinking nectar with allah |
|
I got hot and sent an ice age to europe |
|
to cool my thirst |
|
My oldest daughter is nefertiti |
|
the tears from my birth pains |
|
created the nile |
|
I am a beautiful woman |
|
I gazed on the forest and burned |
|
out the sahara desert |
|
with a packet of goat's meat |
|
and a change of clothes |
|
I crossed it in two hours |
|
I am a gazelle so swift |
|
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 |
|
jesus |
|
men intone my loving name |
|
All praises All praises |
|
I am the one who would save |
|
I sowed diamonds in my back yard |
|
My bowels deliver uranium |
|
the filings from my fingernails are |
|
semi-precious jewels |
|
On a trip north |
|
I caught a cold and blew |
|
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 earth as I went |
|
The hair from my head thinned and gold was laid |
|
across three continents |
|
I am so perfect so divine so ethereal so surreal |
|
I cannot be comprehended except by my permission |
|
I mean...I...can fly |
|
like a bird in the sky... |
