Just off the beaten track Way from the Vegas trap No more shiny Hollywood Bowl New York streets have lost their soul Think I'm in a state Take me where it's desolate Leave my senses in the clouds Worlds away from city crowds
Into the Valley of the Bomb Going for a desert song See the nuclear family Pointing to the sky at me
There's nowhere to go There's nowhere to go In the Land of Enchantment The Land of Enchantment New Mexico New Mexico
This is the place to be a stranger From another space Everyone's a stranger there See the rednecks stop and stare Leave me in the scorching air The blood is going to flow From the place I love New Mexico
Listen here to Moonface Mike Tell you all what is was like To light the sky not so long ago Not so long ago In crimson red hills so dead Sands that bled in burning red New Mexico
See the rednecks watch the skies Flying saucers myths and lies Myths and lies Snakes are rattling on the ground Wriggling into what they've found Gouged-out holes of ripped-out eyes See the rednecks watch the skies In the megadeath birthplace The megadeath birthplace New Mexico
The White Sands of time Are losing face, running down and going slow In the Land of Enchantment The Land of Enchantment New Mexico New Mexico
