Taking The Easy Way Out

Steve Hackett

Another night I've drunk my fill

Perhaps it's time to dim the light

And while the hours the sandman comes

Stumbling round like a Bowery bum

Maybe I'll dream an Egyptian scene



Taking the easy way out

Taking the easy way out again



Maybe well meet in paradise

Where far beyond the shores of trust

A boat on sea can travel the land

We set sail for a castle of sand



The desert wind

Can darken your skin



Taking the easy way out

Taking the easy way out again



Taking the easy way out

I'm taking the easy way out again
