[Chorus]
A burning hot sun, a cry for water
Black wings circle the sky
Stumblin' and fallin', somebody's callin'
You're lost on the desert to die

[Verse 1]
I had to give up and they took me to jail
But I hid all the money I got
Way out on the desert where no one could get it
And I left a mark at the spot
Then I got away and I ran for the desert
The devil had taken control
I needed water but he said I'd make it
Near the money is a big waterhole

[Chorus]
A burning hot sun, a cry for water
Black wings circle the sky
Stumblin' and fallin', somebody's callin'
You're lost on the desert to die

[Verse 2]
Just up ahead is where I left my mark
Or it may be to the left or the right
I've been runnin' all day and they'll catch up tomorrow
I've got to find it tonight
Then up jumped the devil and ran away laughing
He drank all the waterholes dry
He moved my mark 'til I'm runnin' in circles
And lost on the desert to die
[Chorus]
A burning hot sun, a cry for water
Black wings circle the sky
Stumblin' and fallin', somebody's callin'
You're lost on the desert to die

[Outro]
(Lost on the desert to die)
Lost on the desert to die
(Lost on the desert to die)
