Vandals

Desert Woman

Vandals


A thousand miles of desert- a million tons of sand 
A few less pounds of woman- a tired broken man 
A parching thrist that water couldn't quench 

My desert woman this frontier's only pearl 
How can I penetrate her lonely desert world? 
She doesn't need no make up- the sun powders her nose 
Natural, unshaven from her armpits to her toes 
A love as empty as a broken neon sign 
Only thing in common was her Levi's size and mine 

Now the desert shows no mercy to the timid or the weak 
So as she left the diner, I climbed into her jeep 
She did the rest, introduced me to this land 
Now she's my desert woman and I'm her desert man 
Like the lone coyote from this land I'll never stray 
A pound of Sioux peyote couldn't make me feel that way
