My god is the desert, Endless in all her glory And all her wisdom My god is the desert, And I, I am just a peon In her religion And I can't get away Because I don't want to get away Yes, my god is the desert But I've yet to ride a long way To understand her Yeah, my god is the desert And she's a real lady Her heat causes all the blur And I can't get away Because I don't want to get away And I can't get away Because I don't want to get away Now don't get me wrong, I love being out there, far The fresh air, cigarette taste, Time spent alone But there ain't enough Love in the whole wide world That could lure me out now And yet I keep asking, poking, asking, Prodding for more and more to give My god is the desert My god is the desert Yeah, my god is the desert Until she eats me Eats me Eats me
