Walkabouts 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
