In The Desert — текст песни (Lee Ben)

R.J. Johnson/B. Lee
When I am older
When I am 94
I`m gonna die in the desert
That`s what the desert`s for
And there`ll be no water
No rain, no hail, no tears
`Cos it never rains in the desert
Like it has where I live here
I look up and see a million stars in the sky
Not a sound but the ringing in my ears when I die
In the desert
That`s what the desert`s for
When I am older
When I am 98
I`m gonna die in the city
That`s why the city`s great
And there`ll be no silence
To make me stop and fear
`Cos it`s never quiet in the city
Like it is where I live here
I look out and see all the traffic passing by
The smog in the air and the lights
When I die in the city
That`s why the city`s great
When I am older
When I am 99
I`m gonna die in the country
That`s why the country`s mine
And there`ll be no concrete
Just green trees and some cows
`Cos it`s never hard in the country
Like it is where I live now
But if I die tonight in my bed
Still in this town
And all these sounds in my head
I`ll never have been to the desert, the city
the country to die there
Because I was busy and blind
And I did not find the time
And I would not have felt alive
