Last night a snake shared her water Must've got beneath her skin She showed me how to shoot this metal toy And where to hide the pin
She said when the strong wind blows and the air gets cold From Zion gate down to Mexico We're gonna go... be buried here together Might as well wake up happy
Last night I slept with a Bedouin princess Now there's a mark on both our heads When her brother finds out he's gonna take his Kalashnikov And shoot us both down dead
She said when the strong wind blows and the air gets cold From Zion gate down to Mexico We're gonna go... be buried here together Might as well wake up happy
So when I fix your truck by the side of the road Girl, and your red hair glistens like the finest gold When the night is lit by other planet's skies Like a prophet speaking with a thousand eyes When the birds let you in on your next few days And the lions are willing to die for your name When the strong wind blows and the air gets cold From Zion gate down to Mexico We're gonna go... be buried here together Might as well wake up happy
