Rem - Low Desert lyrics

It happened fast, it's over quick.

a little dust and the engine kicks.

did your hands drift down off the wheel?

a roadowl hit your windshield?

an eyelash or a little bit of sleep?

did time stand still?

Just call it. now, and you're on your way.

hey

hey hey

hey

all the ashtrays cities and the freeway drives

broken casinos and waterslides

the 18 wheeler and the payback dives

gravity pulls on the powerlines.

a jetstream cuts the desert sky,

this land could eat a man alive.

let's say you'd leave it all behind.

hey

hey hey

hey

"tricked again." let go.

there's a radio tower, it's egging you on.

back to the place where you never belonged.

where the people thrive on their own contempt.

whatever meaning is long gone spent.

if you had to guess or make bet,

would you place yourself inside of it?

the mountains yawn. the clouds let out a sigh.

"tricked again." let go. okay.

hey

hey hey

hey.
