Wolf of the Desert Rose

Neon flickers for a good time call

Turn that trick and let em fall

Drown your troubled mind in hard alcohol

Push that broken heart against a wall

There’s an old dog lying by the alley door

He’s just a ghost of what he was before

His spirit broken down like the dreams of these Elko whores

He aint no wild dog anymore

We’ve all been waiting on paradise

We settled for the sex the sin and sighs

Eating scraps from hands that we should probly bite

Dying slowly with the western light

I can see him now when my eyes are closed

The lights turned down and the music low

Living in a house where only the devil goes

That ol wolf of the desert rose

I can hear him coming

Getting closer now

Cant you feel him stalking

Hear that lonesome howl
