Track Name: Egypt
Face the Nile
Once in a lifetime

I told a lie
That I still live by

Ghosts and demons
White sands of Egypt will come for you
In your sleeping

I saw a dog
He was running
And you know,
He was thinking the same thing

White lands rise on the white cliffs
My lantern falls in the sand
Watching my hopes and dreams go up in flames

The camel was talking
The land grows dry
The sand was blowing
And you told the lie

If you remember what you do
You do it well
If you remember what you wanted
You have a story, a story to tell

The dog
He knew what I was thinking
I never saw a dog like in Egypt
Dog, a naked dog
He was digging all over the land
I was hoping to understand

If you believe it, it'll come
If you believe it too long, it'll go away
Believe and it'll come
Believe it too long it'll go
It's gone
Yeah

Caught out of the side of my eye
And every single prayer or sound is a thought
And every single note that is made over feelings that you've never felt
It was some gentleman, what's his name?

It's all impossible, but you knew it
It's all improbable, but you love it
It's so impossible
But you want it that way
Cuz it's the best way
It's the best way

And every single grain of sand was a feeling that you never had
And every single minute that you thought like a sin is a dream you've never had

It's impossible
It's improbable
It's the way you always dreamed that it would be
It's impossible now
It's so beautiful now
I'm in love with it
Oh, I'm in love with it, yeah

And I shivered all alone
Shivered alone
Thinking about what the lights are

It's impossible now
It's so beautiful now
And you know that somehow there's no end

It's impossible now
It's so improbable now
And it's so beautiful
That there's no end
Track Name: Blowout
Lonesome on the holidays
I sacrifice from the best of my days, yeah
I had $5 in the pocket
But I could not find the pocket
The snow fell on the rooftops
Just like they would
Tell you that it happened
In the stories in the nighttime
And the trees were oh so generous
They were so generous
That I had to have a little blowout, baby, yeah!
Goddamn it!
