   plants and birds and     rocks and things, There was sand and hills and rings                   The
   first thing I met was a  fly with a buzz, And the sky      with   no     clouds.                The
   heat was hot   and the   ground was dry, But the  air was full    of     sound.                 I've

After two days      in the     desert     sun My         skin began to turn      red.                 After
   three days       in the     desert     fun   I was    looking at a river      bed.                 And the
   story it   told  of a       river that flowed Made me sad to think it was     dead.           You see, I've

After nine days I let the horse run free, 'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things, there was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground, And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground, But the humans will give no love
 
[Chorus]                    ... as above ...
 
[Post-Chorus]   (2x)        ... as above ...
