We're All Stuck Out In The Desert

Johnathan Rice


well I took a camera on vacation 
to fit miami in a frame 
she didn't mind, she blew me kisses 
said, "well what's your name?" 

i plan my dinner at the hotel 
but then my dinner plans got wrecked 
an investment banker started something 
so i broke his neck 

we're all stuck out in the desert 
and we're gonna die 
wipe that sand and salt 
from your blistering eyes 

well the polygraph needles were jumpin 
and my conscience edward fell asleep 
i can't trust myself to tell the secrets 
i was told to keep 

the fastest jackalope in texas 
he started runnin outta luck 
bit by a snake 
then he got hit by jimmy's semi-truck 

we're all stuck out in the desert 
and we're gonna die 
wipe that sand and salt 
from your blistering eyes 

well i know sometimes i get distracted 
america's so big and wide 
with her long white fingers she says 
"hush, i'm not the marrying kind" 

my mind moves faster when i'm walkin 
my baby shoes are dipped in bronze 
i don't give a shit, she calls the shots 
that's how we get along 

we're all stuck out in the desert 
and we're gonna die 
wipe that sand and salt 
from your blistering eyes
