#This song starts off the same as "Anji" (the next track on the album) but
#suddenly turns into a hard rock version of "Wednesday Morning 3am" from the
#previous album. The second line of the chorus turned up again years later
#as "gliding down the highway" in the song "Slip Slidin' Away".

VERSE 1:
I can [A]hear the soft breathing of the [G]girl that I love,
As she [Am]lies here beside me a[E]sleep with the night.
Her [A]hair in a fine mist [G]floats on my pillow,
Re[Am]flecting the [D/F#]glow of the [E7]winter moonlight.
CHORUS:
But I've got to [C]creep down the [Am]alleyway,
Fly down the [G]highway,
Be[Am]fore they [C]come to [Am]catch me [F]I'll be [E9]gone.
[G]Somewhere they can't [Am]find me. [Am/G] [F] [E] [Am] [Am/G] [F] [E]
VERSE 2:
Oh baby, you don't know what I've done,
I've committed a crime, I've broken the law.
While you were here sleeping and just dreaming of me,
I held up and robbed a liquor store.
CHORUS
VERSE 3:
Oh my life seems unreal, my crime an illusion,
A scene badly written in which I must play.
And though it puts me uptight to leave you,
I know it's not right to leave you,
When morning is just a few hours away.
CHORUS
OUTRO:
[Am]Am [Am/G]Am/G [F]F [E]E (repeat and fade)
