lyrics

This car is falling apart around us -- tires on fire...

There is a universe in motion
And another standing still
There is strangeness like an ocean
At the crown of every hill
We do not know devotion
Perhaps we never will
And these are like no other days
We travel on forgotten ways
And desert roads are those that bless the traveler
With namelessness

CHORUS:
We ride, we ride, we ride
Forgetting all the reasons we began
We ride, we ride
We drift like the sand
We ride -- we ride

This car is falling apart around us -- tires on fire...

There is a reckless inspiration
In the turning of a wheel
There is power and elation
In this chariot of steel
We have no destination
Just the hunger that we feel
And these are like no other days
We travel on forgotten ways
And desert roads are those that bless the traveler
With namelessness

CHORUS

I've been so long in the desert land
(my heart is full of sand)
I've been so long beneath the sun
(my name is known to none)
I've been so long on roads ablaze
(my dreams are full of days)
I've been so long beneath the sky
I've forgotten why

These are like no other days
We travel on forgotten ways
And desert roads are those that bless the traveler
With namelessness

This car is falling apart around us -- tires on fire...

CHORUS
