shining desert

Singer:john frusciante

i tell you

i tell you

you hold my cards

you did from the start

you rang the bell from inside

you make the corners wide

you hang up on a cell phone

i say hi

i fail you

i fail you

you don't know how

can't figure it out

you make the tail a headstone

and you don't see those from death

perspective is an answer we don't get

put it on a flat space height will make it thin or wide

seen from a distance objects hide in plain sight

ooh i feel better

cuz i killed a messenger

you know i keep an honest head

being so mislead

you make the sins glimmer

and do take the lower road

there's ends i meet

from your hands still unknown

ooh i am desert

it's easy to rely on luck

you don't care what the past has been

there's only what may be

he makes the days happen

and i make light in dark minds

you take the signal inward and it shines

ooh i feel better

cuz i killed a messenger

you know i keep my eyes peeled

there's nothing you could steal

you hold heat in the ice bin

there is nothing you have been

oh be sad

be sad
