I just need some place where I can lay my egg.
I just need some place where I can lay my head.

Just looking for a place where I can lay my egg.
Just looking for a place where I can lay my head.

Pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' about half past dead
Pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' about half-assed dead
Pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' about half past dead
