Ben Lee - In The Desert - Текст песни

When I am older 
When I am 94 
I'm gonna die in the desert 
That's what the desert's for 
And there'll be no water 
No rain, no hail, no tears 
'Cos it never rains in the desert 
Like it has where I live here 

I look up and see a million stars in the sky 
Not a sound but the ringing in my ears when I die 
In the desert 
That's what the desert's for 

When I am older 
When I am 98 
I'm gonna die in the city 
That's why the city's great 
And there'll be no silence 
To make me stop and fear 
'Cos it's never quiet in the city 
Like it is where I live here 

I look out and see all the traffic passing by 
The smog in the air and the lights 
When I die in the city 
That's why the city's great 

When I am older 
When I am 99 
I'm gonna die in the country 
That's why the country's mine 

And there'll be no concrete
Just green trees and some cows 
'Cos it's never hard in the country 
Like it is where I live now 
But if I die tonight in my bed 
Still in this town 
And all these sounds in my head 
I'll never have been to the desert, the city the country to die there 
Because I was busy and blind 
And I did not find the time 
And I would not have felt alive
