Lyrics

Into the Desert
Words and Lyrics by Dave Barta (2008)


I'm living in the City now
I worked downtown L.A.
There's the traffic and the rumble
The empty desk in the corner
I never thought it would end this way

I'm sorry I just disappeared
But I've been working night and day
With the crooks and the bashers
And their lies and the hustle
I just need to walk away
Well I don't know
I don't know how
This happened here to me-
Into the desert
Trying to find myself under clear night skies
Into the desert-
Come with me and we'll see
If Abbey lied

We used to believe that it just took time
Working hard to play the game
But there are weasels on the inside
And meetings before the meeting
And Mom and Pop believed in me-
Well I don't know
I don't know how
This happened here to me-
Into the desert
Trying to find myself under clear night sky
Into the desert-
Forgive me and we'll see...
If Abbey lied
