last night at the end of the line i was half a million miles from a prayer i crossed my hands across my heart and i laid out in the desert somewhere the sun hit me with a blinding light and the vultures were circling my bed then a troop in fine italian suits came pulling up in their mopeds they looked at me with my makeup on they offered money and they carried me home they said come on down to the motorcade where it s better than you had it before there s lots of money that we can make amphetamines for kids who are bored it doesn t matter what your friends say we re gonna make it out of this door so come on down to the motorcade where it s better than you had it before yesterday at the tip of the bay i was drinking saltwater and lye the undertow slowly pulled me down below and i laid my heavy head down to die the bubbles rose to the surface from my nose spelling please brother help me if you can the motorcade took a break from sunbathing and they swam out to give me a hand they dove down in their jacques cousteaus to offer money in their european clothes they said come on down to the motorcade where it s better than you had it before there s lots of money that we can make amphetamines for kids who are bored it doesn t matter how the tide breaks we re gonna make it back to the shore so come on down to the motorcade where it s better than you had it before it doesn t matter you know it s just a bad dream
