Desert Song - Live

This is Desert Song
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
