Verse 1 I’m the loneliest dealer in this dusty town, Where the desert wind just howls and moans, Selling rocks on the corners, to the shadows around, But when I get home, I’m all alone. Chorus I got the blue crystals and a pocket full of dreams, But no one ever sees the man behind the schemes, In the heart of the darkness, where the night never ends, I’m just a lonely soul, with no real friends. Verse 2 The phone keeps ringing, but it’s never a call, That says, "How you doing?" or "How was your fall?" Just a quick exchange, and then they’re on their way, Leaving me in the silence, at the end of the day. Chorus I got the blue crystals and a pocket full of dreams, But no one ever sees the man behind the schemes, In the heart of the darkness, where the night never ends, I’m just a lonely soul, with no real friends. Bridge In the bars, they all talk, but it’s never to me, I’m just the guy with the stuff that they need, But when the sun rises, and the high fades away, I’m left with the shadows of another empty day. Chorus I got the blue crystals and a pocket full of dreams, But no one ever sees the man behind the schemes, In the heart of the darkness, where the night never ends, I’m just a lonely soul, with no real friends. Outro So I’ll keep on dealing in this Bakersfield haze, Living in the shadows of my lonely days, But sometimes I wonder, as I walk these streets, If there’s more to this life than just empty beats.
