Dream beneath a desert sky

The rivers run but soon run dry

We need new dreams tonight

Desert rose

Dreamed I saw a desert rose

Dress torn in ribbons and in bows

Like a siren she calls to me

Set me alight
D Am
We'll punch a hole right through the night
D Am
Everyday the dreamers die
D Am
See what's on the other side
D Am
She is Liberty
D Am
And she comes to rescue me
D Am
Hope, faith, her vanity
D Am
The greatest gift is gold

Sleep comes like a drug... In God's Country

Sad eyes crooked crosses... In God's Country

She stands with a naked flame

Burned by the fire of love
