    Lyrics:
    The desert dust fills your eyes
    The rattlesnake shake takes you by surprise
    The coyotes sing in the calm of night
    The cactus water goes down like fire
    The City of Angels ain’t too far from here
    And when I need some sin, it’s always near
    The Caliente warms my bones
    And the Valley of Death is a skeleton’s home
    The desert toad takes me for a ride
    The Lizard King’s always by my side
    The hawk and eagle just want to fly
    But the horizon’s hot, and the air is dry
    The venom stings from the scorpion
    The owl watches where I’ve been
    My lips are cracked from the howlin’ wind
    I need to quench my thirst and heal my skin
    The mountains like paintings
    The Joshua Tree
    Gram died in room eight and left it all to Keith
    Just a couple of miles from the Salton Sea
    But a little closer to heaven for someone like me

    Positively dripping and saturated with mood, which is something that today's artists mostly don't even attempt. Even without the lyrics it'd make you think of film noir and road trips and the desert. Makes me wish I had a nearby hot desert where I could go for a long drive with this tune cranked up (bowing to the Reverend Billy...). I feel saved....
