After Hours In Cairo
Ben Carrigan

It’s after hours in Cairo

A punch drunk parade

As we dance through the shadows

The band starts to play

And our girls by the radio

So far away


Our fortunes were held by the sound

We laughed as new friends bought the rounds

That we raised up the walls of Babel on


It’s after hours in Cairo

A cross to be borne

And our pride holds the baton

Turns laughter to scorn

And our light turns to leaden


We fall out of doors


Draw lines through the maps

And take to the stand

While always retreating

But the medals and flags were lost in the sand


The music’s long gone from round here

The corps disassembled

And our crimes are weighed

As the band starts to fade

And we fall in the wake of the parade
