[Verse 1]
Desert queen, turn the radio down
Humming car battery
Just you and me and the Western clouds, yeah
Feel you dance around me
Don’t wanna feel the abuse
Hold close, let's slip to a dream
Just you and me burning 'Zona heat, love
Don’t ever let me be
You say I’m coming loose
"Just miss the older you"
Said I’m the worst of news
[Chorus]
Stuck in the sand
A couple runaways, runaways
Let’s set this place on fire
Desert queen
We’ll tear through everything
Raider law
I’ll be your king
Build us a perfect place
Oh, desert queen
[Verse 2]
Flicker, fade, dance above me
Feeling love's driest heat
She’s such a beautiful gypsy girl
With dangling jewelry
Come make my world
Emerald eyes, I'm chasm deep yeah
She’s such a, she’s, she’s such a mystery
[Chorus]
Stuck in the sand
A couple runaways, runaways
Let’s set this place on fire
Desert queen
We’ll tear through everything
Raider law
I’ll be your king
Build us a perfect place
Oh, desert queen
