drove through the desert in the moonlight   hot day cold night   I've never seen so much sky   and it's a sight for sore eyes      the desert in the moonlight   a hot day cold night   no I've never seen so much sky   and it gets me thinking why   I cannot still my mind      and it takes such a glorious contrast    to see the way I've cross-wired my life path      the desert on a cold night   surrounded by starlight   if you make a fire burn it bright   it's such a sight for sore eyes      the desert on a cold night   surrounded by starlight   if you make a fire burn it bright   it'll get you thinking why   do we lead such complicated lives      and it takes such a glorious contrast   to see the way I've cross-wire my life path
