Desert Circuits

[Verse 1] Sand in my teeth Headlights on the dunes Phone full of missed calls Wide awake at noon Old story on the radio About a war I never chose We dance in the rearview Dust on our clothes [Chorus] Raise that desert signal high Let it flicker in the sky We are wires We are wind We are strangers We are kin All this chaos in my veins All these drums inside my brain I’m just looking for a trance That don’t end in smoke and flame (oh) [Verse 2] Mama keeps a prayer rug Folded by the door Says “Remember who you are When they ask you what you’re for” I got cousins in the mountains I got friends in the club Same blood Same region Just a different kind of love [Chorus] Raise that desert signal high Let it flicker in the sky We are wires We are wind We are strangers We are kin All this chaos in my veins All these drums inside my brain I’m just looking for a trance That don’t end in smoke and flame (oh oh) [Bridge] Turn the sirens into songs Turn the borders into roads If they ask you who you run with Say you run with weary souls Hands up Eyes closed Feel the hum beneath your feet Every heartbeat on this earth Is a different kind of beat [Chorus] Raise that desert signal high Let it flicker in the sky We are wires We are wind We are strangers We are kin All this chaos in my veins All these drums inside my brain I’m just looking for a trance Where we all can know your name (hey) Where the dance outlives the flame
