The Sphinx Lyrics - Singles - Amanda Lear

I wish I could be like the king 

who said to his people: my friends 

this is now the end 

if we loose the battle 

we shall live forever. 

The people of the sun will remember this day 

and give us immortality 

long after I've gone 

Long after the sun. 

I want to be like this king 

but I can't stand the pain 

my friends 

and I keep looking for all the faces I had 

before the world began. 

I've only know desire and my poor soul will burn 

into eternal fire 

and I can't even cry - 

a sphinx can never cry. 

I am standing in the sun 

I wish that I could be 

a silent sphinx eternally. 

I don't want any past 

only want things which cannot last 

and I can't even cry 

through God knows how I try - 

a sphinx can never cry 

and sphinxes never die. 

I'm famous or am I infamous ? 

It doesen't matter much any more 

phony words of love or painfully truth 

I've heard it all before 

appraisal or critics and even politics 

a conversation piece 

a woman or a priest 

it's all a point of view. 

I am standing in the sun 

...
