There's a drug that can make you feel
Like the greatest of the kings and queens
There's a drug that can make you feel
Like the happiest of slaves
There's a shadow that passes across the sun
There's a shadow that passes across my face

God save me from everything I really want
God save me from everything I really feel
God save me from everything I should have said
Crash down the reckless soul

In the desert it's hard to judge distance and time
The lights of town glisten tonight from forty miles away

God save me from everything I really want
God save me from everything I really feel
God save me from everything I should have said
Crash down the reckless soul
