She said it's so hot I think I'm gonna die
Where's the water where's the water
The ground had started to look like a pizza
Sweat was forgotten weight was lost
Where was the water
The desert must be some demon's secret nightmare
The sun is now an assassin
I hate the crazy look in my lovers eye
Where's the water where's the water
Bleached bones of long empty dreamless heads
Staring at the sun
I wanted to disappear
After she wanted to be carried
I stopped really loving her
When her lips started to look
Like dead fried marshmallow shells
I no longer desired her kisses
Or her sighs or her cries
And when I touched her dryness I was repulsed
To think I was repulsed
Stranded for who's plan
I was dying for the act
0f an automobile company somewhere
Some underpaid slave
Of my country's lost great dream
Someone that forgot to screw something in right
Sure sealed my rate
You can't escape your destiny oh no
Not in the middle of the desert
Here we were celebrating the holiday of love
Happy anniversary dear
We were exclaiming in wonder
Natures sculptured dunes
Where's the water where's the water where is it
When I usually wash the vehicle
That has pulled the trigger on me and my bride
I like to enjoy the act of casual conversation
You know with my neighbors
Music talk maybe a little sports
Some politics if it's Paul
And as I talk I lay down the hose the hose
I lay it down and the water flows from the hose
Over my driveway out into the street
Down the block and into the sewer by the school
All that water that cool water
Do you think we'll give up together
Probably not
The woman will be exhausted
