This is a house to which I will never return
These rooms witnessed great disasters
Quiet ones and loud ones too
This is a country to which I will never return
See, I've been a lonesome stranger
In these streets and in these labyrinths
In these ballrooms with the kings and queens
Was I brave to stay?

But now I've found my way out of Egypt
I've found my surprisingly obvious way out of here
You are my way out of my dangerous, proud mistakes
And now Egypt seems so very far away

This is a country to which I will never return
See, I've been a lonesome stranger
In these streets and in these labyrinths
In these ballrooms with the kings and queens
Was I brave to stay?

Now I've found my way out of Egypt
I've found my surprisingly obvious way out of here
You are my way out of my dangerous, proud mistakes
And now Egypt seems so very far away
And now Egypt seems so very far away
