[Verse 1] In the desert heat He sweats down his brow Seeking inner peace As the serpent prowls In the vast expansive land that they call home Hypnotized On subtle sways The man gets stunned The serpent plays A brutal brawl to claim the crown and throne Engines roar And bolts corrode A civil war In morse code A holocaust inferno sets us free Senile greed And puppet schemes Disturb the peace Recycle creeds A button push will liberate us all from misery [Chorus] The sunshine flares and my backs on fire Suguaros surrounds the empire Spirits rise and shadows casted Secrets mold to thermoplastics Aye don’t you ever melt away Aye don’t you ever melt away Aye don’t you ever melt away In the heat of the Tucson sun aye [Verse 2] First to go is our innocence Next to go is our fearlessness Then one day, we’ll be staring at the mirror Wondering how we used to be so full of life Life, life until the vultures eat our bodies A generation that’s been digitized, now do you copy? Everything means nothing if there’s no one around And everything you love will one day will fade, and burn to the ground, hey [Chorus] The sunshine flares and my backs on fire Suguaros surrounds the empire Spirits rise and shadows casted Secrets mold to thermoplastics Aye don’t you ever melt away Aye don’t you ever melt away Aye don’t you ever melt away In the heat of the Tucson sun aye
