Lyrics The Vandals – Desert Woman

A thousand miles of desert — a million tons of sand
A few less pounds of woman — a tired broken man
I saw ?
bench

My desert woman this frontier’s only pearl
How can I penetrate her lonely desert world?

She doesn’t need no make up — the sun powders her nose
Natural, unshaven from her armpits to her toes
A love as empty as a broken neon sign
Only thing in common was her Levi’s size and mine

My desert woman this frontier’s only pearl
How can I penetrate her lonely desert world?

Now the desert shows no mercy to the timid or the weak
So as she left the diner, I climbed into her jeep
She did the rest, introduced me to this land
Now she’s my desert woman and I’m her desert man

My desert woman this frontier’s only pearl
How can I penetrate her lonely desert world?

Like the lone coyote from this land I’ll never stray
A pound of Sioux peyote couldn’t make me feel that way

My desert woman this frontier’s only pearl
How can I penetrate her lonely desert world?

My desert woman this frontier’s only pearl
How can I penetrate her lonely desert world?

A thousand miles of desert — a million tons of sand
A few less pounds of woman — a tired broken man
?
A parching thirst that water couldn’t quench

My desert woman this frontier’s only pearl
