Lyrics

Soul Desert

[Intro]

Soul desert

[Verse 1]

I was lost and loveless in your soul desert

I was packed and kickin' to your alien land

I was lost and loveless in your soul desert

I was packed and kickin' to your alien land

[Chorus]

Then I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know what to be

Then I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know what to be

And I'll just watch you 'cause being is just too hard for me

[Verse 2]

In your soul desert I was awe-inspired

Feeling sentimental for your alien side

And blinded, I was helpless in your giant sands

Ignorant and freezing in your alien lands

[Chorus]

Then I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know what to be

Then I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know what to be

And I'll just watch you 'cause being is just too hard for me

[Bridge]

All of my time

All of my time

All of my time

It takes up all my time

[Verse 3]

Livin' life in your soul desert

Trustin' no one in these alien lands

Killin' time in your soul desert

And trustin' no one in these alien lands

Oh, I'm trustin' no one in these alien lands

[Refrain]

Me and I'll just watch you 'cause being is just too hard for

Me and I'll just watch you 'cause being is just too hard for

Me and I'll just watch you, being is just too hard for me

[Outro]

Me and I'll just watch you

Me and I'll just watch you

Me and I'll just watch you

Me and I'll just watch you

Me and I'll just watch you

Me and I'll just watch you

Me and I'll just watch you
