In The Desert lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics In The Desert lyrics R.J. Johnson/B. Lee When I am older When I am 94 I m gonna die in the desert That s what the desert s for And there ll be no water No rain, no hail, no tears Cos it never rains in the desert Like it has where I live here I look up and see a million stars in the sky Not a sound but the ringing in my ears when I die In the desert That s what the desert s for When I am older When I am 98 I m gonna die in the city That s why the city s great And there ll be no silence To make me stop and fear Cos it s never quiet in the city Like it is where I live here I look out and see all the traffic passing by The smog in the air and the lights When I die in the city That s why the city s great When I am older When I am 99 I m gonna die in the country That s why the country s mine And there ll be no concrete Just green trees and some cows Cos it s never hard in the country Like it is where I live now But if I die tonight in my bed Still in this town And all these sounds in my head I ll never have been to the desert, the city the country to die there Because I was busy and blind And I did not find the time And I would not have felt alive song lyrics
