The song title comes from Buzz Osborne reading a history book on Napoleon Bonaparte and a battle against the mennonites called “The Victory of the Pyramids”.
[Instrumental 0:00-2:07]
[Verse 1]
She's picking up colors
The muggers will be here soon
Their guns loud and big
They're killing me
[Chorus]
Did he go, did he go, did he walk back?
Did he go, did he go, did he walk back?
[Verse 2]
Dark bust[?] in silence
Our pumpkins, we love them
We're supposed to be ready
I don't feel so ready
[Chorus]
Did he go, did he go, did he walk back?
Did he go, did he go, did he walk back?
[Verse 3]
I've been losin' my mind
The queen's ghost was in my bed
[Chorus]
Did he go, did he go, did he walk back?
Did he go, did he go, did he walk back?
[Verse 4]
I've been losin' my mind
The queen's ghost was in my bed
[Chorus]
Did he go, did he go, did he walk back?
Did he go, did he go, did he walk back?
[Bridge]
I gamble, I trade
I won't be getting feel them [?]
A country of danger
Still a source of wonder
[Instrumental 3:25-4:35]
His fiery fear [?]
A danger
I don't matter
I'm through with them
[Instrumental 4:52-5:26]
[Verse 5]
Lay in
The can, Don [?]
Are you mad, man?
It's not afraid [?]
[Instrumental 5:40-9:36]
