Marrakesh Express

The Marrakesh Express was a popular route for traveling hippies during the mid-to-late 1960s who sought out this Moroccan city for its mythical Arabic appearance, and maybe for its renowned hashish.

Looking at the world Trough the sunset in your eyes
Trying to make the train To clear Moroccan skies
Bugs and pigs and chickens call Animal carpet wall to wall
American man is five foot tall and you

Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind
Had to get away to see what we could find
Hope the days that lie ahead
Bring us back to where they've led
Listen up to what's been said to you

Would you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
Would you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
All on board that train

I've been saving all my money just to take you there
I smell the garden in your hair

Take a train to Casablanca going south
Blowing smoke rings from the corners of my m,m,m,m,mouth
Cold coffins hang in the square
Charming corporals in the square
Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express (X2)
They're taking me to Marrakesh Express
Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express (X2)
They're taking me to Marrakesh
All on board that train (X3)
