Lyrics
[Intro] Mm Mm-hmm
Sand like water
Stars like tears
[Verse 1] Drove out past the last exit sign
Radio chewing on an empty frequency
My shadow stretched a hundred miles behind

Stars like tears (tears)
Let the desert drink me whole
[Post-Chorus] Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
[Chorus] Sand like water
Rolling rolling rolling
Stars like tears
Rolling rolling rolling
Sand like water (water)
Stars like tears (tears)
