Blue Oyster Cult - Last Days Of May lyrics

Parched land no desert sand, sun was just a dot<br>And a little bit of water goes a long way, 'cause it's hot<br>Three good buddies were laughing and smoking in the back<br>Of a rented ford<br>They couldn't know they weren't going far<br><br>Each one with the money in his pocket<br>Could go out and buy himself a brand new car<br>But they all had the money they had<br>Money they hoped would take them very far<br><br>The sky was bright, a traffic light, now and then a truck<br>And they hadn't seen a cop around all day<br>They brought everything they needed<br>Bags and scales to weigh the stuff<br>The driver said the border's just over the bluff<br><br>It wasn't until the car suddenly stopped<br>In the middle of a cold and barren place<br>And the other guy turned and spilled<br>Three boys blood, did they know a trap had been lain? <br><br>They're ok the last days of may, I'll be breathing dry air<br>I'm leaving soon, the others are already there<br>You wouldn't be interested in coming along, instead of staying here<br>They say the west is nice this time of year
