Desert Town |
| I hitched a ride to a desert town |
| (I never planned this trip) |
| I saw my past in the sun like a tongue |
| (that slowly dripped) |
| People faced me with Lazarus eyes |
| They were red and dazed like fat horse flies |
| I was lost in twelve directions |
| I was searching for my own reflection |
| In a desert town I found |
| A future old and broke like Roman ruins |
| I been turned around it’s true |
| The postage past is due |
| This heat is twisted like a knife |
| I got the picture but I lost the frame |
| (Where did it begin) |
| Thought I was holy but that’s not the case |
| I’m just too tired to sin |
| Sun glistening like a frightened fist |
| This latitude doesn’t exist |
| In a desert town I found |
| Nothing is going to be the way it should |
| What I thought I lost I could get back |
| Take the blade and hack my way back to another day |
| Instant that, instant this, instant that, instant this. |
| . |
| In a desert town I found |
| A future old and broke like Roman ruins |
| I been turned around it’s true |
| The postage past is due |
| This heat is twisting like a knife |
| In a desert town the sound |
| Whispers like like the women at the well |
| In this dry high wind I bend |
| Like a cactus in the sand |
| I’m waiting, waiting for your hand |
