The Desert Cries

from Gung Ho! (fdm135) by Chris Anderson

/

lyrics

a million eyes stare from the sky
these autumn weeds are where the blind man feeds
on fear and doubt - that's what it's all about

this prism folds and it takes control
of the iron lights on those dull, dark nights
we faced alone - now we're still as stone

all lies - the desert cries

a panic void or just paranoid
the shadow's breath, the angel's death
from the great divide - or cyanide

we wrote it down and then stuck around
to see if we were cleared or just underfeared
in the cold dark sun that never comes

all lies - the desert cries

this window shows tiny shots of those
on the dragon's wheel we can barely feel
such a long goodbye courtesy of the electric eye

what remains is a damn fool's game
until we rise above and show the damned some love
and laugh and steal the prize while the lonely desert cries

all lies - the desert cries
