In God'S Country

Desert sky
Dream beneath a desert sky
Rivers run but soon run dry
We need new dreams tonight

Desert rose
Dreamed I saw a desert rose
Dressed only in bits and in bones
Like a siren she calls to me

Sleep comes like a drug
In God's country
Sad eyes, crooked crosses
In God's country

Set me alight
Punch a hole right through the night
Every day the dreamers die
See what's on the other side

She is liberty
She comes to rescue me
Obey her vanity
Her greatest gift is gold

Sleep comes like a drug
In God's country
Sad eyes, crooked crosses
In God's country

Naked flame
She stands in naked flame
I stand with sons of Cain
Burned by the fire of love
Burned by the fire of love
