He says, "I think that I'm cured" Em G Then he talks of the Nile and the girls in Bulrushes [Interlude 1] C Am Em G [Verse 3] C Am In New York he is laid in a glass covered case Em G He pretends he is dead, people crowd 'round to see him C Am But each night she comes 'round and the two wander down Em G The halls of the tomb that she calls a museum C Am Often he stops to rest, but then less and less Em G Then it's her that looks tired, staying up asking questions C Am He learns how to read from the papers that she Em G Is writing about him and he makes corrections [Verse 4] C Am It's his face on her book, more and more come to look Em G Families from Iowa, Upper West Siders C Am Then one day it's too much, he decides to get up Em G And as chaos ensues he walks outside to find her C Am She's using a cane and her face looks too pale Em G But she's happy to see him, as they walk he supports her C Am She asks "Are you cursed?" but his answer's obscured Em G In a sandstorm of flash bulbs and rowdy reporters [Interlude 2] C Am Em G (x5) [Verse 5] C Am Such reanimation, the two tour the nation Em G He gets out of limos, he meets other women C Am He speaks of her fondly, their nights in the museum Em G But she's just one more rag now he's dragging behind him C Am She stops going out, she just lies there in bed Em G In hotels in whatever towns they are speaking C Am Then her face starts to set and her hands start to fold Em G Then one day the dried fig of her heart stops its beating [Interlude 3] C Am Em G (x2) [Verse 6] C Am Long ago on the ship, she asked, "Why pyramids?" Em G He said, "Think of thEm as an immense invitation" C Am She asked, "Are you cursed?" He said, "I think that I'm cured" Em G Then he kissed her and hoped that she'd forget that question [Outro] C Am Em G (x2) C
