Out here in the desert that woman comes to me
She tells me that I should sign in blood and it sets me free
Oh out here in the moonlit sky, that woman drinks to my soul
And what was once so beautiful has now become so cold
She waits, she waits, she waits, she waits by the water hole
She burns, she burns, she burns, she burns through the deep dark reaches of my twisted soul
Out in the desert, man, she’ll take you for one hell of a ride
She may be the Devil’s angel but that bitch, she is my bride
Oh, how lonely life has become for me out here
I have the taste of the blood that stains the steel of my guns
I bite the flesh of the broken body that lies there frozen in fear
And I dance in the night to the beat of that goddamn Devil’s drums, oh God
She waits, she waits, she waits, she waits by the water hole
She burns, she burns, she burns, she burns through the deep dark reaches of my twisted soul
Out in the desert, man, she’ll take you for one hell of a ride
She may be the Devil’s angel but that bitch, she is my bride
A burning light shines bright before me
A cunning man there appears in red
He hands me the golden phone of God and
The word of our dear Lord is said
“Rise up from the ashes, son
And go forth to the screams
In the shadow of the valley of death
It just ain’t what it seems”
So I rose from the desert floor and I
Broke loose of her chains
So with both hands I raised my gun
And I let loose her brains, oh God
She waits, she waits, she waits, she waits by the water hole….

Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
