Lyrics

Palm Desert

From The Nowhere Inn2021

Written by Carrie Brownstein, St. Vincent

Produced by St. Vincent

Lyrics

Palm Desert

In a white limousine In the Palm Desert heat We're too far from the sea So your waves crash on me Dark shades on your eyes Singing, "What doesn't change dies" Driver, do you mind To hit the brakes on this ride? Running 'round the road Tired of my old clothes I got what I want, but I don't want it all No, I don't want it all Footprints in the sand I lie where they end Black hawks circle in Over no promises land So ride your white limousine Into a hungry ravine All hail lizard queen You'll never see me again Running around the road Tired of my old clothes I got what I want, but I don't want it all No, I don't want it all All, all, all
