Lyrics
Easy Street
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Did you hear the one about the friend of a a friend who tried to end it all
At the last moment he picked up the phone and gave you a call
You thought about letting it ring, but you answered after all
And there you were, put on the spot at the end of the other line
For questions that you never thought you'd ever have to answer to
Who do you turn to when the ones you always turn to go and turn on you
It leaves you in the dark, feeling for a switch to turn it on again
There are no easy answers, the questions remain tough
There's no shortcuts to easy street, no corners you can cut
Can you cut this diamond in the rough
And it's good to see you alive
Sign your will to survive
A look into your heart before it sees its final hour
(Lived?) each day like there is no tomorrow
Beyond this mess ahead there is a street so very hard to find
Though I have (got?) to lay my head down at this dead end so many times
And if we ever get to easy street, you can say with a smile
I came just for the ride
