[Verse 1]
Let's take a ride to the easy plateau
Where the cold don't come and the wind don't blow
Moonlight flickers on the water below
The orange grove blossoms in the orange grove

[Pre-Chorus]
Bad nights lead to better days
It doesn't matter but I think about it anyway

[Chorus]
I want an easy plateau, some place to rest my head
I want an easy plateau, some place to rest my head
For a while, for a while, for a while, for a little while

[Verse 2]
Sleepyhead, come on let's take a ride
To the easy plateau in the back of your mind
Up through the alley, take the door under the stairs
My head ain't feeling nothing but cats and rocking chairs

[Pre-Chorus]
Bad nights lead to better days
It never happens but I think about it anyway

[Chorus]
I want an easy plateau, some place to hang my head
I want an easy plateau, some place to hang my head
For a while, for a while, for a while, for a little while
[Bridge]
How do I hold on to you
If I can't hold on to me
How do I hold on to you
I want an easy plateau
Some place to rest my head
For a little while

[Guitar Solos]

[Outro]
I want an easy plateau, some place to rest my head
I want an easy plateau, some place to rest my head
An easy plateau
