Lyrics The Desert - Jonathan Richman , The Modern Lovers

What does the desert make my heart stand still?
Why do I feel this chill?
Why do I feel this chill?
I can see when I'm standing there
Things I thought i had left
In some far away year
And I remember things
I forgot before
When I'm in the desert
I want to see the desert some more
See it some more
Well desert desert
When I'm in the desert
I feel an ancient feeling
Oh desert and I want to see the desert some more
Some more
Why does the desert make my heart go boom?
Like an egyptian tomb
Like an egyptian tomb
Well i can see when i'm standing there
Things I thought I forgot
And I don't know from where
And I remember things
I forgot before
When I'm in the desert
I want to see the desert some more
Desert some more
Oh desert desert
When I'm in the desert
I feel an ancient feeling
Oh desert and I want to see the desert some more
Some more
Why does the desert make my heart go frrom?
Well the martians land there
And they're not dumb
And the colours that
You can see there
Are like something you've known
But you don't know from where
And I remember things
I forgot before
When I'm in the desert
I want to see the desert some more
Desert some more
