Last night a snake shared her water
Must've got beneath her skin
She showed me how to shoot this metal toy
And where to hide the pin

She said when the strong wind blows and the air gets cold
From Zion gate down to Mexico
We're gonna go be buried here together
Might as well wake up happy

Last night I slept with a Bedouin princess
Now there's a mark on both our heads
When her brother finds out he's gonna take his Kalashnikov
And shoot us both down dead

She said when the strong wind blows and the air gets cold
From Zion gate down to Mexico
We're gonna go be buried here together
Might as well wake up happy

So when I fix your truck by the side of the road
Girl, and your red hair glistens like the finest gold
When the night is lit by other planet's skies
Like a prophet speaking with a thousand eyes
When the birds let you in on your next few days
And the lions are willing to die for your name
When the strong wind blows and the air gets cold
From Zion gate down to Mexico
We're gonna go be buried here together
Might as well wake up happy
