This Must Be The Desert
Can you pin-point the moment this occurred?
You used to, break my heart in two
Now you’re just on my nerves
Your husband’s in the closet
And the baby’s on its way
And I’m waiting for a tear to drop
For all we pissed away
But this must be the desert
Cause my eyes are dry as dirt
And the only thing I’m clinging to’s my shirt
No tourists come to gaze upon the edifice we built
For time has done its worst and it has crumbled into silt
Yes, I can hear a ringing
But it sure ain’t wedding bells
I promised I’d remember you, baby
I never said how well
And this must be the desert
Cause my eyes are dry as dirt
And the only thing I’m clinging to’s my shirt
We swore that we’d never stray a step away from each other’s side
Well, baby, we lied…
And this must be the desert
Cause my eyes are dry as dirt
And the only thing I’m clinging to’s my shirt
I said this must be the desert
Cause my eyes are dry as dirt
And the only thing I’m clinging to’s my shirt
