... welcome to the desert Its becoming increasingly more expensive It used to be much cheaper To find a love and to keep her To play guitar and reiterate Or embrace the heat and just hibernate A little tin foil on the window works just great Coming from a long line of coincidence I'm a vortexan at heart I can't give one 'for instance' But vortexas still has my heart Staying at the congress hotel About a mile from the 'no-tel motel' It's our universe's center Used to live there like a renter It assembles us with haywire They lost the top floor up in flre The clocks are stuck in rewind Living on tucson time {chorus} Pinto beans kept us well stocked To kill the time, we just rocked Catching a buzz from the cicadas And dancing with invisible neighbors Erosion is our state bird Ha .. that's not what i heard {chorus}
