Desert Skies

Blacklight fades

Headlights switched off

The engine burns

As we're rollin' to a stop



Let's get out here

Lie down in the middle of road

Ain't no cars comin'



Only stars

And stars alone

The city at our backs

Did you really think that it would last?



Heaven's trace

A trail of starlight gone

The city best forgotten



Did the wind hit you in the eye?

Or were you just about to cry?

Desert skies......

This ain't the place to turn around

Never even said goodbye

Desert skies......



A day so hot it seemed

Like the rocks could sing

The sky so flat it seemed there was

Nothin' in the wings



Scar on your lip

A story far too long to tell

The story best forgotten



Our party in hell's been cancelled

Due to fire and thick smoke

Torched up by its own success

Do ya' wish that we had never spoke?



Yours and yours alone

Mine everywhere thrown

Yours alone



Did the wind hit you in the eye?

Or were you just about to cry?

Desert skies......



All the stars are shaped like tears

Tears are satellites

Desert skies......
