Now I'm

gonna keep on comin'

against all odds

no one believed

now I'm

hot like the summer

rollin' baby

gonna ride the breeze


right thru the night

these tattered dreams

like frozen ice

the blood of my love

fallin' like rain

these lonely tears

they keep me alive

I'm the desert king ...


now I'm

stuck in the middle

touch me baby

so I can chose

now I'm

drunk just a little

show me baby

what I got to lose


behind your eyes

behind your smile

behind your heart

there is a place

nobody knows

I want to go there

I have to go there

I'm the desert king.....


my heart is rough

it don't need much

I just need your love

my heart is tough

it don't need much

I just need your love


now I'm

gonna stand for something

gonna rise up baby

howling at the sun

now I'm

gonna dance with nothing

gonna take your hand

take you on the run


past memories

like empty cabs

they sing for ghosts

they call out your name

the picture is blue

and no one can see 

it's really me

I'm the desert king.....
