Another Pyramid (From "Aida") Songtext
von Sting

Sad to say our mighty ruler is not really in the pink
Hopes could not be minuscular that he will come back from the brink
Not beat around the bush
He looks like heading for his box
At the risk of seeming pushy
We must plan for future shocks

According to the Hawk God Horus
Our most regal invalid
Is not that much longer for us
Build another (another, another, another)

Another pyramid (build another pyramid)
Another pyramid (build another pyramid)

Though all doctors and physicians have been summoned to his bed
It will soon be top morticians we will be calling for instead
With each wheeze, the nation′s humming
Egypt shakes with every cough
Not two ways about what is coming
No discussion, bets are off


Soon our Pharaoh will have filled a tomb
Just like his fathers did
Summon Egypt is the greatest builder
Build another (another, another, another)

Another pyramid (build another pyramid)
Another pyramid (build another pyramid)
Another pyramid (build another pyramid)
Another pyramid (build another pyramid)

We hate to depress the nation, but our leader has been told
He should cancel his vacation
Even put tonight on hold
This is where his loyal priesthood has the chance to do him proud
Holy leaders at the least should see him happy to his shroud

He must have a vault that's grand by any standards, floor to lid
Put five thousand slaves on standby
Build another (another, another, another)
Build another (another, another, another)
Build another (another, another, another)

Another pyramid (build another pyramid)
Another pyramid (build another pyramid)
Another pyramid (build another pyramid)
Another pyramid (build another pyramid)
Another pyramid!
