Cape To Rio

She went from Cape to Cairo I went from Cape to Rio She drinks her Tanqueray But it's Mainstay for me-o My heart and soul are hardened I built the Hanging Gardens I let my tears flow I let my tears flow O WHAT BITTER STUFF Don't say my song's too slow! Don't talk cause you don't know The place I come from is a place you never go No no it's not enough I want more of this bitter stuff You see me swaying as you're praying for my fall I try to understand her Outside on the blue veranda When she feels pleasure It's a measure of my worth They say never say never But my name's Nebuchadnezzar And I'll never let it go I'll never let it go NO IT'S NOT ENOUGH [Chorus] She makes the feeling purer With a dash of Angostura I've learned the art Of being everywhere at once I built the Cape to Cairo I drank the Cape to Rio I died an emperor And came back as a griot [Chorus]
