Wet Desert

from Aries by Dean Batten

/

lyrics

You're most beautiful just before you break;
When all the color rushes out of your face, then you crumple
And spray
And it moves me

I don't know you, do I? (Aim for the space you provide)
Pray for a moment's sunshine (Pray for a moment's sunrise)

You're most beautiful just before you break;
Arch your back up to straddle my face, then you crumple
And spray
And it moves me

I don't know you, do I? (Aim for the space you provide)
Pray for a moment's sunshine (Pray for a moment's sunrise)

Echo, echo the company line
Father time was a friend of mine, oh forget it
Echo, Echo the hint of lime
Narcissus to Clementine, oh forget it
Echo, echo a wasted rhyme
Codeine plays in the back of my mind, oh forget it
Echo, echo the firing line
Get the fuck out of dodge this time
Oh , forget it

I don't know you, do I? (Aim for the space you provide)
Pray for a moment's sunshine (Pray for a moment's sunrise)

Dry me out in your wet desert, I don't mind dying of thirst
Lay on my tongue your wet desert, lounge in the sand of my bones
Dry me out in your wet desert, I don't mind dying of thirst
Dry me out in your wet desert, I don't mind dying of thirst
I don't mind dying of thirst
