Sometimes I Am Pharaoh - JARV IS...

I see you but you don’t see me

I watch you when you’re eating fried food in front of famous buildings

I know a lot of things about you

Sometimes I am Pharaoh

Sometimes I am Chaplin

Sometimes I’m made of stone

But always I am watching

You walk into the cathedral

Hoping that you will feel something

But all you feel is empty

So you think that you are hungry

That’s why you’re always eating

Fried food in front of famous buildings

And always I am watching

Although you never see me

Sometimes I am Pharaoh

Sometimes I am Chaplin

Sometimes I’m made of stone

But always I am watching

I sat next to a woman

Who asked if God was like a camera

That automatically took a picture

If you sinned or were a sinner

If you said the words

She took a photo of the altar

Although she knew it was forbidden

Now she was frightened of damnation

I said «why don’t you repent then?»

And then she started crying

I was standing very still in front of famous buildings

The crowds began to gather

The clouds began to gather

Not moving one muscle, I stand still for hours

And then when you least expect it

I jump

I’ll make you jump

I’ll make you jump

I’ll make you jump

Underneath the arches

Down by the river

At the centre of the world

Throwing food into an abyss

Sometimes I am Pharaoh

Sometimes I am Chaplin

Sometimes I’m made of stone

But always I am watching

I’ll make you jump

I’ll make you jump

I’ll make you jump

I’ll make you jump
