Lyrics

Middle of the desert, broken down machine,
hour of the setting sun.
Don't know where I'm goin', don't know where I've been,
don't know which direction to turn.

When, down in the valley where the dunes fade away,
ghost town shinin' in the last light of day.
Voice on the wind sings, "run to me fast.
I've been waiting so long and I
got you at last, ... got you at last."

Down to the barrom I walked in a trance,
tumbleweed to guide my shoes.
In the arms of a phantom I proceded to dance.
Couldnt see just what I had to lose.

Danced to a Banjo and a brass Tambourine,
held in the arms of my ghost city queen.
Lost all my future and forgot all my past.
And that's when she whispered that,
"I've got you at last, ... got you at last."

And when the dance was ended she told me,
"there's more to you now than there was before.
Once your life depended on no one and nothing.
Now you know there's something more."

Woke to the sunlight that burned in my soul,
desert wind to dry my bones.
Don't you know that something inside me
was out of control.
Couldn't seem to find my way back home.

Home to the world that I lost yesterday.
The life that you lived is the price that you pay.
Home is a dream with a ghost city cast,
and a voice on the wind singing,
"got you at last, ... got you at last."
