The Strangest People

from I Dream The Obelisk by Waspy Synth

/

lyrics

Brazen earth and brick red ground
Stretching forever. Keeping my head down
Dust slides into your lungs
Sandstorm on the horizon and behind it
Two blinding white light
Our binary suns

Rations, water, spirits, limits
A second turns into a minute
Mirages dance on salt flats
Wind and temperature rising
Tryna find a hole or a rock or anything to hide in
But there were none, there were none, there were none

You find the strangest people in the strangest places
You find that they just might save your life

He came a'riding on a six legged beast
A stenson on his head and his mouth; a sheesh
He said "You'll surely die unless you ride with me"
She had a six foot trunk and flat fuchsia eyes
So I climbed onto her back sitting six foot high but I'd be fine
A hit of his smoke, it's creamy pine.

The conversation's weird and he gives me heeby-jeebies
But he's got a sense of humour and some water I'll be needing
And the moons they had him hypnotised
Yes, he was surely crazy to be living out here
A long, straight highway made of glass we hit
Made from the cool molten sand, sand

You find the strangest people in the strangest places
You find the strangest people in the strangest places
You find that they just might save your life

He rode up in a junker still had an ICE
Stenson turned the girl away she's a helluva tough beast
And she can find her own way home
So we got into his truck a'billowing ghosts of smoke screens
He said "Why you in The Desert on a day so mean?"
Stenson "selling spice knocked from the trail I hit"
"And I'm the sole survivor of a crash landing"

So I gave the driver fitty said "I'll take ya'll to The City
It's the only on the planet and boy, it isn't pretty
And it seems that we've got more than time to burn"
Watching dunes just roll away I think I'll roll another J
Spice so dehydrated it could turn from sand to vapour in your hands
We smoked like shahs, shahs

You find the strangest people in the strangest places
You find the strangest people in the strangest places
You find the strangest people in the strangest places
You find that they just might save your life
