Desert Skies
blacklight fades Blacklight fades headlights switched off Headlights switched off the engine burns The engine burns as we're rollin' to a stop As we're rollin' to a stop
let's get out here Let's get out here lie down in the middle of road Lie down in the middle of road ain't no cars comin' Ain't no cars comin'
only stars Only stars and stars alone And stars alone the city at our backs The city at our backs did you really think that it would last? Did you really think that it would last?
heaven's trace Heaven's trace a trail of starlight gone A trail of starlight gone the city best forgotten The city best forgotten
did the wind hit you in the eye? Did the wind hit you in the eye? or were you just about to cry? Or were you just about to cry? desert skies...... Desert skies...... this ain't the place to turn around This ain't the place to turn around never even said goodbye Never even said goodbye desert skies...... Desert skies......
a day so hot it seemed Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com A day so hot it seemed like the rocks could sing Like the rocks could sing the sky so flat it seemed there was The sky so flat it seemed there was nothin' in the wings Nothin' in the wings
scar on your lip Scar on your lip a story far too long to tell A story far too long to tell the story best forgotten The story best forgotten
our party in hell's been cancelled Our party in hell's been cancelled due to fire and thick smoke Due to fire and thick smoke torched up by its own success Torched up by its own success do ya' wish that we had never spoke? Do ya' wish that we had never spoke?
yours and yours alone Yours and yours alone mine everywhere thrown Mine everywhere thrown yours alone Yours alone
did the wind hit you in the eye? Did the wind hit you in the eye? or were you just about to cry? Or were you just about to cry? desert skies...... Desert skies......
all the stars are shaped like tears All the stars are shaped like tears tears are satellites Tears are satellites desert skies...... Desert skies......
