Egypt

I am the sort of someone

Who'll step over the big line between paradise and reality

Everyone runs a gauntlet of trust

To decide between deceit and sincerity

Time is making us all grow all older

Time is pushing us into responsibility

Living is better than it ever was

But I've got to run away to save my sanity

In all seriousness, I'm running away

I'm going to Egypt again today

Sailing through crocodiles, papyrus, water, death

To ruined temples of Isis, Osiris, Nephthys, Seth

Running, running, running to stay

Running to Egypt, far away

Down a muddy, murky river Nile

Sparkling green in burning, sunny brilliance

Floats a boat with a linen sail and [?] dial

Sailing with the current to deliverance

Inside the tombs are still and dead underground

Light shows gods and queens with erotic eyes

This beach was newer when their gold was found

Two thousand years in a world of sighs

In all seriousness, I'm running away

I'm going to Egypt again today

Sailing through crocodiles, papyrus, water, death

To ruined temples of Isis, Osiris, Nephthys, Seth

Running, running, running to stay

Running to Egypt, far away

Oh, Hathor, smile in my face

She hasn't lost her time or place

Isis and Nephthys, the goddess twins

Are making sure the blackness ends [?]

Disappear like sand though time

They smile and talk in Egyptian rhyme

But come for me and take my hand

I'm leaving this world for an ancient land

[instrumental break]

Come with me and we won't be alone

Ancient Egypt will make our home

In all seriousness, I'm running away

I'm going to Egypt again today

Sailing through crocodiles, papyrus, water, death

To ruined temples of Isis, Osiris, Nephthys, Seth

Running, running, running to stay

Running to Egypt, far away
