Why don't I
Why don't I
Why don't I
Why don't I
Why don't I
Why don't I
Why don't I
Why don't I
Why don't I
Why don't I
Why don't I
Why don't I
Why don't I

I been walkin' in my sleep
As if I've got somewhere to be
Just tryin' make some sense
Of what I can't believe I see
Might be in over my head
At least that's what Mama says
Livin' life like it's TV

'Cause you trip the light fantastic
But you do it all on plastic
Well somethin' just don't feel right
Just don't feel right to me
Always takin' never askin'
Never one to share the basket
Doesn't make much sense to me

That's why I'm movin' to Cairo
That's where I'm headed tomorrow
I left my heart in Jakarta
You know it's gettin' harder to come back
That's why I'm flyin' to Shanghai
To hold me over to Mumbai
'Til I can make it to Paris, Rio, anywhere but here
I just need somewhere to be

That's why I'm movin' to Cairo
That's why I'm movin' to Cairo

My ears keep poppin' from the altitude
You got the private jets and Benz's and jacuzzis in the nude
Is it a Louis kind of morning or a Gucci afternoon?
'Cause I can't tell what's real
Can't tell
I got a billboard Jesus lookin' down on me
'Cause this California dreamin's got me fast asleep
Just like a backseat blackout goin' hyperspeed
I mean, I can't even see

That's why I'm movin' to Cairo
That's where I'm headed tomorrow (Why don't I, why don't I)
I left my heart in Jakarta (Why don't I, why don't I)
You know it's gettin' harder to come back
That's why I'm flyin' to Shanghai
To hold me over to Mumbai
'Til I can make it to Paris, Rio, anywhere but here
I just need somewhere to be

You don't know what you're missin' baby
Hiding out in San Francisco
'Cause there's a window seat open in first class right next to me and
You could've been in it
Situated with a blanket of Egyptian cotton of the highest thread count
And your hands around a crystal of the finest champagne
Now, we could pay for it with good lucks and cash, but
I'm talking about the type of life that money can't buy
I'm talking about the type of life that takes a little more time
I'm talking about the type of life that you gotta go and find
And it ain't in the bay, baby...
It ain't in the bay

That's why I'm movin' to Cairo
That's where I'm headed tomorrow
I left my heart in Jakarta
You know it's gettin' harder to come back
That's why I'm flyin' to Shanghai
To hold me over to Mumbai
'Til I can make it to Paris, Rio, anywhere but here
I just need somewhere to be

That's why I'm movin' to Cairo
That's why I'm movin' to Cairo
That's why I'm movin' to Cairo
That's why I'm movin' to Cairo
