Egypt

Lyrics

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
