Ramses Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And before we die,
We want to see some foreign countries,
May be that we will meet you anywhere.
Down to America, hello,
Down to America, hello
Down to America, hello.
Show us how you live at home,
Let us stay with you.
Tell us your problems - we like to know,
May be that we can help you anyway.
Down to America, hello,
Down to America, hello,
Down to America, hello,
We hope you give us a chance...

Each album had at least one gem! They're too good to be so unknown. I also like their glass top coffin and space hymns.

Both albums that you mentioned aren't by Ramses, but by Ramases (= Kimberley Barrington Frots) instead!
