Song information
Another tune from my high school days. This one is partially in 7/4. It was originally an instrumental I composed as a "creative response" to Dantes' Inferno for my English class. Later we wrote lyrics to it as a fictional Egyptian dance called "the Sphunx".

Lyrics
Sphunx
James Brown for Pharaoh
Seek the wisdom of the ancients
Deep Antlantis, far Tibet
Take them mind expanding potions
Smoke them funny cigarettes

Escape in flying saucers
Leave the earth with no regrets
One ritual remains
As you cover all the bets

Cheat the magnificum
Sacrifice three skunks
And do the Sphunx
Do the Sphunx

Baby come upstairs and check out my hieroglyphics
All the girls say they’re terrific when they get down to specifics

Join the flagship of the Nile
Mother Africa awaits
Grim Anubus in his blue bus
Waits for he who hesitates

Grab yourself a mummy mama
Go to the aeonic drama
Fast aproaching hour of rama
Salvadore the Dahli Lama

Issues the divine decree
to his madcap monks
to do the Sphunx
do the Sphunx

 They say I’m like the pyramids for its my firm belief
I just can’t reach my highest peak without what’s underneath

Very entertaining. I'm trying to think what it reminds me of -- maybe Zappa? I think the vocals should be louder in the mix.

I Agee with Dr_J. First thought was Frank Zappa. 7/4 not heard much. Enjoyed the trip back in time

This is some complex stuff.  Its like a hurricane came through, picked up a thousand pieces of debris, twisted them around in the sky and they fell perfectly into an intact house on the ground :)

This is NUTS! (In the GOOD "21st Schizoid Man" kind of way...)
Love your guitar riffing in this!

selfishly I say... "Someday let produce you"... you can throw it away if I don't like it... but I'm always drawn to the chalange that your material would put on me... I love that lead guitar on this... I'd have to throw away any rules I start out with... but your deep interweaving original musical impulses would push me past my everyday to a place I've rarely been... you are a musician's musician
