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
