Текст песни Then Came the Last Days of May - Blue Öyster Cult

Parched land, no desert sand
Sun is just a dot
And a little bit of water goes a long way
′Cause it's hot
Three good buddies were laughing and smoking
In the back of a rented Ford
They couldn′t know they weren't going far

Each one with the money in his pocket
Could go out and buy himself a brand new car
But they all had the money they had
Money they hoped would take them very far

The sky is bright, the traffic, light
Now and then a truck
And they hadn't seen a cop around all day (what luck)
They brought everything they needed
Bags and scales to weigh the stuff
The driver said "The border′s just over the bluff"

It wasn′t until the car suddenly stopped
In the middle of a cold and barren place
And the other guy turned and spilled
Three boys blood, did they know a trap had been lain?

They're ok, the last days of May
But I′ll be breathing dry air
I'm leaving soon
The others are already there
Wouldn′t be interested in coming along
Instead of staying here
It said the west is nice this time of year
It's what they say
