Desert
Paris Lounge 3: Day 12.00 P.M. Lyrics

It happened fast, it's over quick
Things moved swiftly, the event concluded rapidly

A little dust and the engine kicks
The car was started with just a small cloud of dust

Did your hands drift down off the wheel?
Did you momentarily lose control of the vehicle?

Roll out, hit your windshield
Continue driving and get going quickly

An eyelash or a little bit of sleep? Time stands still
Were you sleepy, or did you blink? Time froze for a second

Just call it now and you're on your way
Make your decision to leave and start your journey

All the ashtrays, cities and the freeway drives
All the locations you've passed through on your journey

Broken casino and water-slides
A casino and water-park that have seen better days

Eighteen-wheeler, payback dice
A trucker with a grudge, gambling with loaded dice

Gravity flows on the power line
The force of gravity holds the power lines down on the ground

Jet stream cuts the desert sky
The high speed winds in the atmosphere are visible in the landscape

This is a land could eat a man alive
The environment is harsh and dangerous

Say you'll leave it all behind
Commit to abandoning everything you know

There's a radio tower that's egging you on
The radio tower is urging you to proceed

Back to the place where you never belong
Return to the location where you always feel out of place

Where people thrive on their own contempt
A place where people find satisfaction in their disrespect towards others

Whatever meaning is long gone, spent
The original significance of everything has been lost and forgotten

If you had to guess or make a bet
If you had to speculate or make a wager

Would you place yourself inside of it?
Would you willingly put yourself there?

The mountains yawn, the clouds let out a sigh
The landscape appears to be still, but it is alive and breathing

"Tricked again," let go, okay
After being deceived multiple times, you accept it and move on
