Lyrics Michael Franks – Charlie Chan In Egypt

Please tell me if you can, Doc
What’s causing my depression?
The fact we now engage in
Unprovoked aggression?

I feel like a stranger
In a strange land
Like I can’t
Reveal my secret
Wherever I go
Wherever I am
I feel like
Charlie Chan in Egypt
Just like
Charlie Chan in Egypt

Can all this sit-com laughter
Still conceal our sadness
While down in Foggy Bottom
They manufacture madness?
Thanks to the World Wide Web
And its near complete dominion
We’re suffocating in
The quicksand of opinion

I feel like a stranger
In a strange land
Like I can’t
Reveal my secret
