Lyrics
Car broke down on 101 beneath the Arizona sun, unlike California’s ain’t no fun
Unless you like a ray gun stun…to your head
I keep movin’ down the shoulder, outlook weaker, down from bolder
As I look at my new cell phone…which is dead
The flip side of elation, only fix for dehydration, is a melted ice cream cup…in my hand
People keep on passin’, 5 to 1 says I ain’t lastin’
Past where the next heat wave shrouded…marker stands
Asked aloud for help to find me, or providence to guide me
Blue sedan appeared beside me… to the plan
Two women look divine, whose very intro changed my life
Spoke words that made me feel…not less than
We’re the sisters of the desert, your good fortune can’t be measured
Our mere presence is your pleasure. Terms of payment is life’s treasure
Go ahead and drop that Blizzard, while we heal you like a lizard
Regenerate your very soul, keep you from going down that hole
You get one more shot, whether you know it or not
I know I’ve seen these girls before, heat index 120 or more
Need to reel in my mind and… flashback stores
Got to get them back on duty
Decrypt some mystic Valley beauty
My fervor for the sibs no …revolving door
Sister one reminds me, of the Motor City, where the man pledged Amour to…lady C.
I often wondered how it’d be, with long black hair all fancy-free
If she happened in a wild dream… to find me
We’re the sisters of the desert, your good fortune can’t be measured
Our mere presence is your pleasure. Terms of payment is life’s treasure
Go ahead and drop that Blizzard, while we heal you like a lizard
Regenerate your very soul, keep you from going down that hole
You get one more shot, whether you like it or not
Sister two reminds me, of when I was told to come and see
The Breakfast movie…on TV
Enamored was I, with the star, and with the view inside the car
She conjures her image quite…easily
We’re the sisters of the desert, your good fortune can’t be measured
Our mere presence is your pleasure. Terms of payment is life’s treasure
Go ahead and drop that Blizzard, while we heal you like a lizard
Regenerate your very soul, keep you from going down that hole
You get one more shot, whether you accept it or not
Reunited with my faculties, while breathin’ in… their AC
First of the last things said to me, was, …finally
We’re the sisters of the desert, your song and smile was our treasure
All sister services, paid in full
Go replace that tasty Blizzard, since we healed you like a lizard
Regenerated your soul, kept you from going down that hole
One more shot yet to be taken, woman’s life force to awaken
Don’t get caught, watching the clock
Left the ride, the last words spoken, double hold remains unbroken
The Sisters presence to me, converse…of ennui
I admit my new affliction, the most superior to fiction, binary beauties, you’ll ever see
My thoughts forever will be, of the sisters and me
Forever will be, of the sisters and me
