Desert Skies Lyrics

Desert Skies lyrics

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
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 it’s own success
Torched up by it’s 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......
