I hear they're burning men when the sun goes down on the desert
ground
And if you're close enough to that fire light, you can see
the neon blue
You and I could have high times tonight, baby, if we wanted
to
If you're fixing up too, don't you know I'll be following
you, and we can be there soon
I've spent a lot of time looking out on the edge for my redeemer
And these white-washed eyes, if you think you must know, well,
they've never seen
I must confess that I've looked everywhere for that come-hither
smile
If you cross her path, oh, won't you think back on this, and
kiss her once for me
I
never thought I'd see the worst of it by now
Never thought I'd live to see the day
I never thought I'd get so used to it by now
Never thought I'd live to see the day
I'll
bet you I could go play a round of golf and never leave your
front lawn
And just as easily, oh like you, more quietly, I could go
mad inside
You can call it life, you can call it some kind of fucked
up American dream
I'll say it another way, you know baby, who's not to blame?
You know you can't deny it
You
must have a million ways that you could wake up each day feeling
overjoyed
But if you let the dream wear off, you ain't ever gonna find
a-one that's one day gonna let you be
And I know we're all pretenders, babe, caught up in a warp-speed
world that's filled up with hyperjive
Now it's a battleground, but no, not a one of us got to let
it be
I
never thought I'd see the worst of it by now
Never thought I'd live to see the day
I never thought I'd get so used to it by now
Never thought I'd live to see the day
And I only know it was the night, child
I only know it was the night
