[Instrumental intro, dragging chain] [Verse 1] Oh the relentless glare exposes me As I walk through deep white sand The mad dog follows and won’t let me be Tempting bottle in my hand [Verse 2] Lightning sets the pace with piercing cracks Leads the rain that builds these dunes Made of gypsum grains that form my tracks Long trails blurred under countless moons [Verse 3] Flashes from the South in Mexico Show my compass doesn’t work Oh bring a storm to hide me from my foe For the dog of war still lurks [Chorus 1] All I feel All I feel Turns to white… There’s no sound Not a sound In the white [Instrumental break – guitar solo] [Verse 4] Rainfall from the storm in Mexico Come shape the dunes to shield me I’m not looking for a dazzling show Only to be free! [Instrumental break – bright treble guitar with ascending licks] [Verse 5] Don’t tell me ‘bout the end of this It doesn’t matter now The bottle beckons for a kiss I’ll disappear somehow Woah oh Woah oh Doesn’t matter how [Chorus 2] All I feel All I feel Turns to white… There’s no sound Not a sound In the white… [Instrumental break] [Outro – full-throated vocals, distorted guitar riffs] I can’t go further, no further Can’t you see? There’s no moral, no moral To this story No Apache, no Apache Will come and save me I’ll take the drink Welcome the sand No I can’t think… Don’t want to think. [Instrumental outro]
