Lyrics

DESERT BLUES

TAKE ME TO THE MOUNTAIN
AND PLEASE LET ME LOOSE
I?VE BEEN CALELD A SAINT
BUT IT?S THE SINNERS LIFE I CHOOSE

AND IF I MEET MY MAKE
I WANT TO KNOW HER NAME
IF I MEET MY MAKER
I WANT TO KNOW HIS NAME

THESE DESERT BLUES HAVE GOT ME GOIN? INSANE

MY BROTHER IS CALLED MOSES
HE?S A STUTTERING FOOL
WHY DOES HE GET TO LEAD US
THE MAKER MUST BE CRUEL

CAN YOU TELL ME HOW LONG
?TILL THE MILK AND HONEY LAND
ALL MY FRIENDS KEEP SAYIND
WE?RE GONNA DIE HERE IN THE DESERT SAND

THESE DESERT BLUES HAVE GOT ME CRAWLIN IN MY SHOES

CRAWL!

LOOK HERE ALL YOU WANDERS
AND GIVE TO ME YOUR GOLD
I WILL BUILD AND IDOL
THAT WILL SAVE YOUR SOUL

I CAN?T WAIT FOREVER
FOR THE FINAL WORD
IT?S BEEN FAR TOO LONG
SINCE THE LORD?S VOICE HAS BEEN HEARD

THESE DESERT BLUES HAVE GOT ME
FEELIN SO DISTURBED

THESE DESERT BLUES HAVE GOT ME CRAWLIN IN MY SHOES!
