lyrics

Phosphor winds blow through the sand.
Lotion drips from every hand.
The radio plays foreign music
Just to prove that you’ve gone somewhere.

Any day. Any day. Any day. Any day.

Limped souls, designer shades.
For the ace of hearts is the ace of spades.
Stand in doorway, avoid those eyes.
A parasite. A thin disguise.

Any day. Any day. Any day. Any day.

You might say what madness this is.
The sun, the sweat, the balmy kisses.
The palm trees sway. A serpent hisses.
A child cries out. The arrow misses.

Inmates walking round and round.
And if you look at them, they forget what they wanted.
They will start spending a great deal of money.
The sun will get hotter and so will the water.

Any day. Any day. Any day. Any day.

Casino midnight, a warm wind blows.
Signs in the desert and no one knows.
It’s a silent meltdown in 117.
They have to say, “Won’t you pour us a drink?”
They have to say.

Any day. Any day. Any day. Any day.

You might say what madness this is.
The sun, the sweat, the balmy kisses.
The palm trees sway. A serpent hisses.
A child cries out. The arrow misses.

The hot boys stare. The ?? haze.
Nymph and Satyr. All that pays.
A world of cash. A deadly ?? Infected blood.
For days and days and days and days and days and days.
