In a town at the edge of the Nile

I can see that California smile

There's a boat with your name on the side

In between your Casino and mine

I can see that there's a delicate line

And I can't tell our voices apart

And I can't tell your life from art

You're a ghost Alexander, at most Alexander

You've made up a name for yourself

You're still sitting there on the shelf...
