[Verse 1]
Now, boy de[Em]cides
he cannot walk
Boy de[G]cides to take the train
And sing and swing his arms softly
Watch himself in the windowpane
And he says, [Em]"This is necessar[G]y
And though she said I
should not run again
And I just could not live under
the same roof as him
[Em]And

[Verse 2]
in the desert I deserve [G]some sleep
And I need recourse for the
[C]course I am tak[G]ing"
[C]And we just got word [Em]from
your mother
Who said [G]she's awfully sorry
But she understands
[C]It's [G]just she [C]loves her man

[Verse 3]
[G]But what's the prob[C]lem?
Yeah, he's been burnin' your
blankets [G]all this time
It's, it's for your own [C]good
That you learn to be [G]a cold [C]man too

[Verse 4]
And he [C]could not go home
to [G]his mother
'Cause she's in [C]love with an animal
Nothing to hold in his [G]arms
They [C]both became mechanical

[Verse 5]
[C]Only the girl in the air[G]plane he'd
Read about when [C]he was small
Could save him
Be the friend [G]he needed all along
And she'd love him,
[D]she'd [G]love [D]him, [G]lov[C]e him

[Verse 6]
In the desert,
there's a man with his arms by his [G]side
But they're severed so the day when
he will look into her [C]eyes
He'll say "I have been waving to get
your atten[G]tion all this time"
And he [C]will not see a river for another
thousand miles
But her lips [G]will be like water
when she gives the boy a smile
And says, "I have [C]been searching for you,
man, [G]all the while"

[Verse 7]
[G]There ain't no birds out
here near the [C]cactus
The place where you are [G]lying
But the raw pink sky is clear,
[C]and she turns his head
And said, "Is it [G]a jet propeller I hear?"
[C]And she says "Boy,
am I glad [G]to see you"
And boy decides to hold her hand
[C]with the hands held by
The new [G]arms that she had
brought and given him
[C]Only the girl in the air[G]plane he'd swore
he'd seen when he [C]was small
Could save him,
be [G]the friend he'd needed all along
And he'd love her, he'd love her
[D]In the

[Verse 8]
[C]desert, there's a plant
with its arms raisin' high
[G]And they're never gonna sever
'cause she looks into his [C]eyes
Today to say,
"I've been wait[G]ing all the while"

[Verse 9]
In the [C]desert, there's a plant with its
arms raisin' high
And they're [G]never gonna sever
cause she looks into his eyes
[C]Today to say,
"I've been wait[G]ing all the while"
Yeah, she [C]saved him
It was [G]so lovely
She [C]saved him
I wish some[G]body'd up
and save me

[Verse 10]
Yeah, she [C]saved him
It was [G]so lovely
She'd [C]saved him
I wish somebody would [G]save me,
save me, save me
I [C]wish somebody would [G]save me,
save me, save me
I [C]wish somebody would [G]save me,
save me, save [C]me
I wish somebody would [G]save me,
save me, save me
