A burning hot sun
A crying for water
Black wings circle the sky
Stumbling and falling
Somebody's calling
You're lost on the desert to die
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
A burning hot sun
A crying for water
Black wings circle the sky
Stumbling and falling
Somebody's calling
You're lost on the desert to die
Just up ahead
Is where I left my mark
Or it may be to the left or the right
I've been running 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
Till I'm running in circles
And lost on the desert to die
A burning hot sun
A crying for water
Black wings circle the sky
Stumbling and falling
Somebody's calling
You're lost on the desert to die
Lost on the desert to die
Lost on the desert to die
Lost on the desert to die
Lost on the desert to die
