Desert sky, dream beneath the desert sky.

The rivers run but soon run dry.

We need new dreams tonight.

Desert rose, dreamed I saw a desert rose

Dress torn in ribbons and bows

Like a siren she calls (to me).



Sleep comes like a drug in God's country

Sad eyes, crooked crosses, in God's country



Set me alight, we'll punch a hole right through the night.

Every day the dreamers die to see what's on the other side.

She is liberty, and she comes to rescue me.

Hope, faith, her vanity

The greatest gift is gold.



Sleep comes like a drug in God's country

Sad eyes, crooked crosses, in God's country



Naked flame, she stands with a naked flame

I stand with the sons of Cain

Burned by the fire of love

Burned by the fire of love.
