Momus – The Pasha

From the album ‘MomusMcClymont Two‘ (2014).

Lyrics

The pasha can do anything that he wants
But he mostly wants sex and cocaine
The pasha can have anyone that he wants
Eating ice cream and candy all day

The pasha treats people like Turkish Delight
And he swallows them down like a snack
He summons his whores and goes down on all fours
And before them brings everything back

The pasha is wealthy, the pasha is selfish
The pasha’s the monster in you
The pasha is simply what happens to people
When people have nothing to do

Desires and requirements indulged become tyrants
And nothing is ever enough
The pasha can eat everyone in the world
And still remain empty of love

The pasha is sick, sick of his sin
Sick up to here with himself
His puritan nephew will execute him
To save him from doing it himself

The pasha is bored, bored of his whores
But doesn’t like falling in love
The pasha says ouch, there’s a bump in my couch
The pasha’s a rich Oblomov

The pasha is living in all day in pyjamas
He hardly wears anything else
The pasha is healthy but sick of the drama
The drama of being himself

Should he go shopping or order a hanging?
and should he go hunting for game?
It all becomes boring when all you do’s snoring
Every day feels just the same

The pasha is sick, sicker than death
Sick to the teeth of himself
His puritan nephew will execute him
To save him from doing it himself

The pasha is sick, sick in his skin
Sick up to here with himself
His puritan nephew will execute him
To save him from himself
