lyrics

"Desert Song"

While I keep on hoping,
You build our love its casket
And if I'm foolish enough to ask after it,
Shield your eyes from this box of pine
And sing me,
Tender, tender,
"Everything, everything
Is gonna be just fine."

Well your love may be warm
But it's a dry, dry heat
And to garner just a drop from it's
A world-renowned feat,
And I'm just your blazing sun's
Canon fodder
But I'm a desert girl
And I dig for my water.

And I wouldn't want it any other way
So if I beg and I pray,
Ignore what I say,
Don't open the door,
I don't want to see it,
It's too fucking late
For an easy exit.

Tie me up with string
And fucking pump me full of lead,
I've got a shotgun for a mouth
And a bullet for a head.
Well maybe it would all be better off If I were just dead...
Ah but God's as cruel as you are
He decides when it's the end.

And I wouldn't want it any other way
So if I beg and I pray,
Ignore what I say,

Don't open the door
I don't want to see it
It's too fucking late
For an easy exit.
It's too fucking late for my heart
It's too fucking late for my heart
It's too fucking late for my heart
It's too fucking late for my heart
