Lyrics

DUST DEVILS
ã2007 Mike Strasser

Oh, you toss your hair and underwear as if the devil himself may care
Then you laugh and say, “He doesn’t”
Like some tree that drops it leaves on boulevards or city streets
You don’t care which way the wind blows
But it’s coming in now from the west and Dust Devils envy the dress
That circles ‘round your back and waist while they’re condemned to dissipate

Let’s hop the train that comes around and stops in every little town 
That’s well defined by it’s limits
It’s good to be reminded why some folks reach up to touch the sky
While others, oh they’re just grabbing
Salty snacks from wire racks, salvation sold by the six-pack
“Let’s go.” you say as you walk by and drag your finger ‘cross my thigh

Making love in a sweaty berth with muffled moans while neighbors curse
I wake up from that dream to find you’re wondering what’s on my mind

And it’s first the mountains then the plains and then more mountains again
Before we reach the high desert
The air up here starts to get thin. The scarcity of oxygen can bring on rash behaviors.
You ask me, “Do I want a shot.” I tell you, “I have had enough
Of clear thinking and self-control. I’m just about to explode.”

Oh, I must be a Dust Devil too ‘cause just like them I long to
Circle close your body
You are the moisture that I need to dampen down this dust in me
And quell all this commotion
Now the wind has stopped the air is hot. You look cool but you are not.
Your eyes they are beckoning and then we begin to spin.
