Desert High

Yeah

The desert dust, it fills your eyes

The rattlesnake's shape takes you by surprise

The coyotes sing in the calm of night

The cactus water goes down like fire

The city of angels ain't too far from here

And when I need some sin, it's always near

The Caliente warms my bones

And the Valley of Death is a skeletons home

The desert toad takes me for a ride

The Lizard King's always by my side

The hawk and the eagle just wanna fly

But the horizon's hot, and the air is dry

Uh, the venom stings from the scorpion

And the hound watches where I've been

My lips are cracked from the howlin' wind

I need to quench my thirst and heal my skin

The mountain's like painting the Joshua Tree

Gram died in room 8 and left it all to Keith

Just a couple of miles from the Salt Sea

But a little closer to heaven for someone like me

Ooh
