Lyrics of
Eric Shaw - Devil In The Desert

When the sun peeks up behind the mountains and casts an orange glow
It don't quite wash out the sight of the neon lights below
I've been here three days but I've got to say
It feels more like thirty-five
I keep meaning to learn my lesson
But this happens every time
Repeat Intro
I'm down to my last twenty with nothing much to show
But an empty chair and a desperate prayer for bullets in the hole
When the cards are dealt across the felt
These eyes go black and cold
My last chip's in the middle
It's too late now to fold
She's a Siren on a cliff's edge
And I'm speeding towards the rocks
Might be headed for disaster
But I can't shut this engine off
And the lights and lies of nights gone by
Have now faded into truth
She's a devil in the desert
And she's gonna get her due
Solo
Yeah I'm a willing victim and my memory is short
It's a battleground and this time around I'm settling the score
When she gives me hell I should tuck my tail
Turn around and run
But I ain't one for good decisions
When the bad ones are this much fun
She's a Siren on a cliff's edge
And I'm speeding towards the rocks
Might be headed for disaster
But I can't shut this engine off
And the lights and lies of nights gone by
Have now faded into truth
She's a devil in the desert
And she's gonna get her due
