The Djinn in the Desert

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Full moon hanging low

Verse 1

Old man told me a story once

Back when the sand was cold

Said walk into the desert

Bring a bottle and your soul

You drink and you walk

You walk and you drink

Till the glass runs dry

Pour the last drop down

Underneath that sky

Chorus

And the djinn might rise

Djinn might rise

From way back in the past

Empty bottles scattered

Sacrificial sips

Djinn might rise

Post-Chorus

Pour it out

Pour it out

Watch him grin

Verse 2

He said I'm a djinn from the old old days

Imagine bottles drained

Sacrificial sips from a glass

I appear and you're afraid

Broken bottles clash

I am here to grant a wish

So tell me what you'd ask

Chorus

And the djinn might rise

Djinn might rise

From way back in the past

Empty bottles scattered

Sacrificial sips

Djinn might rise

Post-Chorus

Pour it out

Pour it out

Watch him grin

Bridge

All the money

All the power

All the women too

He was grinning when he clapped his hands

Lightning split the blue

Opened up his eyes and saw

Racks and bands and more

Everything was perfect

Never saw the djinn no more

Verse 3

On my deathbed he came back

Offered me a choice

For your soul I'll take you back

Live it all again

But when you're done it ends

Then the old man laughed

Took a swig of his bottle

Wandered off into the night

Chorus

And the djinn might rise

Djinn might rise

From way back in the past

Empty bottles scattered

Sacrificial sips

Djinn might rise

Outro

Mm

Under a full moon's light
