lyrics

shit you could really wear a white towel
the mysterious woman from out of town
a swaggering pirate
a rolling stone
a wild girl
you saw my ship
my life was a storm
I felt you move with me along the shore
I'd hear things about you
people would talk
got a kind of phantom picture of you

I heard your nickname
what you were called by the crowd
I heard what your mother called you in a conversation about
Mogambo

walked around pickin up your trail
pickin our your shape
lovers and catfights overlaid the map
treaure island
Mogambo

I was like a private eye who couldn't move couldnt ask a question
Phillip Marlowe waiting for another door to open by itself

I heard your nickname
what you were called by the crowd
I heard what your mother called you in a conversation about
Mogambo
