Simon Coverdale - Maria in the Desert

The dream is over but
We keep sleeping on
At least you know what nothing means
Now everything is gone
These games we keep on playing
Out here where no one rules
Prayers they aren't worth saying to
These gods so burning cruel

But no one's asking
Any questions anymore
The answer's always nothing
That ain't freedom, that's for sure
You love your magic potions and
The smoke against your skin
Stole a red Ferrari
And you drove away from him

You hate to venture theory
About how the aces fall
Never known that siren's love
Without the siren's call
And all these beasts within this bedlam
Those that crawl beneath your toes
Waking with these bodies
You're pretending you don't know

I remember you once told me
That your heart was growing cold
Saving up your pennies
For these dreams that we were sold

So follow that coyote
Where the desert flower grows
Beneath this burning city
To the ending of this world
Elvis Presley got to Heaven
Sat by the door for years
King was just a name we gave
To all that we hold dear

Elvis got to Heaven
Sat by the door for years
King was just a name we gave
To all that we hold dear
