Artist: The Walkabouts
Song: desert skies
Black light 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, 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
A story best forgotten
Our party in hell's been canceled due to fire and thick smoke
Torched up by its own success, do you 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, desert skies
Never ever said goodbye
Never ever said goodbye
Never ever said goodbye
Never ever said goodbye
