Follow me into the desert As thirsty as you are Crack a smile and cut your mouth And drown in alcohol 'Cause down below the truth is lying Beneath the riverbed So quench yourself and drink the water That flows below her head Oh no there she goes Out in the sunshine the Sun is mine I shot my love today, would you cry for me? I lost my head again, would you lie for me? Close your eyes and bow your head I need a little sympathy 'Cause fear is strong and love's for everyone Who isn't me So kill your health and kill yourself And kill everything you love And if you live you can fall to pieces And suffer with my ghost I shot my love today, would you cry for me? I lost my head again, would you lie for me? I left her in the sand just a burden in my hand I lost my head again, would you cry for me? Just a burden in my hand Just an anchor on my heart Just a tumor in my head And I'm in the dark So follow me into the desert As desperate as you are Where the Moon is glued to a picture of heaven And all the little pigs have God Oh no there she goes Out in the sunshine the Sun is mine I shot my love today, would you cry for me? I lost my head again, would you lie for me? I left her in the sand just a burden in my hand I lost my head again, would you cry for me?
