Low Desert

[Verse] It happened fast, it's over quick A little dust and the engine kicks Did you hands drift down off the wheel? Roll out, 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, a hey hey, hey) All the ashtrays, cities and the freeway drives Broken casino and water-slides Eighteen-wheeler, payback dice Gravity flows on the power line Jet stream cuts the desert sky This is a land could eat a man alive Say you'll leave it all behind (hey, a hey, hey, hey) There's a radio tower that's egging me on Back to the place where you never belong Where 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, okay (hey, hey, hey, a hey hey, a hey, hey hey, hey)
