lyrics

1: Open Road

My creditors are calling, I've got no time on my hands.
My share-prices are falling. Time to make a better plan.
Get the passport with the funny name - guess I better travel light:
Leave the handgun in the bottom drawer; they won't like it on the flight.
Open road, and open skies - here I come!

Leave Merry England in the rain and fly towards the sun.
There's a man I know in a desert town, and he owes me more than one.
A few greasy dollars in my shoes and a bearer bond or three -
So sorry 'bout the change of plans, but I won't be home for tea.
Open hearts and open hands - here I come!

In this land of honeyed sunshine and of opportunity
I'm reborn with a four-by-four and cross-boarder expertise
So don't ask what's in the boxes, I just look the other way,
For who am I to question what games other people play?
Open wounds and open graves? I see none.

2: Exiles

Now the devils of my conscience make a place for me
Between the empty skies and endless desert sands.
Did they bring me here so I could 'find myself'?
Well, if there's a lesson, I just don't understand.

If I only knew how I could free myself
From the memories that followed even here...!
And id you saw me now as I see myself
Would you turn your back? Or brush away a tear?

3: Desert Gin -Instrumental
