Desert Song Lyrics

Drying out on a no-name highway

See the sun when I close my eyes

Giant bats on the scenic byway

Strange world engulfed in flames

Cracks in the windshield through which dust is leaking

See through the smoke of my spiked cigarette

Heat sand mirage where I picture a fountain

I always fall in and drink till I drown

Bleeding sky stretched across the landscape

Coyote howls always right behind

Full speed run to escape a dark fate

Don't respond when they call your name

Traces of mesquite and sun-bleached surroundings

Lady Salvia has me in her arms

Heat sand mirage where I picture a fountain

I always fall in and drink till I drown

Dirty wind is bringing the flash flood

My curtain call is drowned in mud

Dirty waters on which I rafted

Dulled my honor and brought me shame

Datura grows from beneath the dashboard

Blurring the lines of my tattered thoughts

Heat sand mirage where I picture a fountain

I always fall in and drink till I drown
