Caravan

(album: Adventures In Utopia - 1979)

Moses went into the desert
Moses came back with the law
Jesus went into the desert
God only knows what he saw
Hitch up your ass and your camel
Fill up your skin at the well
Roll up your tent, whisper your prayers
Are you ready to ride through hell

(Caravan) Moving through the night, sleeping in the light of day
(Caravan) Spinning through the void on our way
(To anywhere, caravan) Time is just a joke, change is all we understand
(Caravan) Life is a mirage, only a mirage dancing on the desert sand

How I recall all the mountains
How I remember the farm
Oh, how I miss the big city
With a pretty girl on my arm
Sell my best friend for some water
Cut off my leg for some shade
Sunburn these thoughts from my memory
If I live I will be remade

(Caravan) Moving through the night, sleeping in the light of day
(Caravan) Spinning through the void on our way
(To anywhere, caravan) Time is just a joke, change is all we understand
(Caravan) Life is a mirage, only a mirage dancing on the desert sand

The sand is like a razor, slashing at my face
Everyone's in panic but you can't see any place
It's a sand storm, taken by surprise
Hide beneath your wrappings and cover up your eyes

Well, I lost my kit and camel, maybe I will die
Feel so lost and helpless and I think I'm gonna cry
It's a sand storm, nothing you can do
No one knows if it will last, no one knows if you will make it through

It's been so long without water
Vultures are filling the air
Where is that bloody oasis
Must be around here somewhere
Time for some strong meditation
Time for the ultimate change
Time to make peace with your maker
Everything has been prearranged

(Caravan) Moving through the night, sleeping in the light of day
(Caravan) Spinning through the void on our way
(To anywhere, caravan) Time is just a joke, change is all we understand
(Caravan) Life is a mirage, only a mirage dancing on the desert sand
