Low Desert
It happened fast, it's over quick.
A little dust and the engine kicks.
Did your hands drift down off the wheel?
A road owl hit your windshield?
An eyelash or a little bit of sleep?
Time stands still.
Just call it now and you're on your way.
Hey
Hey hey
Hey
All the ashtray cities and the freeway drives
Broken casino and waterslides
Eighteen-wheeler, payback dice
Gravity pulls on the power lines.
Jet stream cuts the desert sky,
This land could eat a man alive.
Say you'd leave it all behind.
Hey
Hey hey
Hey
There's a radio tower, it's egging you on.
Back to the place where you never belonged.
Where the people thrive on their own contempt.
Whatever meaning is long gone spent.
If you had to guess or make a bet,
Would you place yourself inside of it?
The mountains yawn.
The clouds let out a sigh.
"Tricked again." Let go.
Hey hey
Hey
Hey hey
Hey
Hey hey
Hey
