Lyrics
Save me
I was holed out in the desert for the
worst part of my life
and i tried to fix my engine but i never
got it right
a bedouin man came by me and i
thought that i'd be saved
he was pulling fifty camels and he just
had this to say: Help is on the way
I said Save me if you can
I'm a missionary man
I'm a stranger to your land and i'm lost
I said show me the way
I can't handle one more day
I'm a little bit insane Save Me!
I would wake up every morning with a
scorpion on my face
he was renting my kufiya till he found
a better place
every night i'd stumble further into
madness like king lear
with a talking foolish scorpion who
would whisper in my ear: Help is on
the way
There's something in the sand could it
be a legendary treasure? Genie in a
lamp, offers me three wishes but no
rescue plan
Move aside hshe says, You are in the
way...
