lyrics

Lost in the desert
Will the snakes bite your legs
And paralyze your chest
Will all these stones
Smoking stones
Keep your soul in a decent shelter

Will your spirit fly above
The mountain tops around
You keep walking
Till your feet sink into the sand

Lost in the desert
Be sure that time
Will keep tracking you down
The question's raised
No lesson to be learned
There's no one else around

Now you’re not sure if the trip
Was worth it afterall
But it's too late
You're so weak you can't afford to fall

Now
When you name it
You lie
Can you tame it
Now
You know you'll never change

You're all lost in the desert
You might die
'Cause you're not Jesus
Man who do you think
You can fool
With your dryed swollen tongue

Raising your voice
Won't give to words more sense
Keep your voice down
Clench your fists all around this void

Now
When you name it
You lie
Can you tame it
Now
You know you'll never change

Under the ground
The world is at your feet
Some dust in your eye
A slap on your cheek
You're not supposed to cry
The world is at your feet
Some dust in your eye
A slap on your cheek
