Desert With Lights © 2012 by Brendan Milburn & Valerie Vigoda drive as fast as you can and you're feeling so free in the river of cars as they race to the bright blue sea it ain't hard to escape when you just gotta get a little space yeah when things get rough and you've had enough then you're in the perfect place it's a city of angels it's a city of dreams  where all sins are forgiven  washed away by the light of the bright sunbeams oh, if you're lonely, you're only a moment away from the star-studded nights there are stars all around you and they shine in this desert it's a desert with lights there are hopes you've kept secret ever since you were young that chance still never taken, the song still unsung in the glow of the sunshine, maybe there's nothing to fear if you breathe in deep and take that leap then it just might happen here in the city of angels it's a city of dreams where all sins are forgiven washed away by the light of the bright sunbeams oh, if you're lonely, you're only a moment away from the star-studded nights there are stars all around you and they shine in this desert it's a desert with lights where the people seem to be so welcoming and grand at the edge of possibility in the warmth of the western sand 'cause for every fallen angel  who has ever dropped from grace, for every ray of hope extinguished a new one comes to take...its...place... in the city of angels in the city of dreams where all sins are forgiven washed away by the light of the bright sunbeams oh, if you're lonely, you're only a moment away from the star-studded nights there are stars all around you and they shine in this desert it's a desert with lights

All the things I believed in my life the bizarre, crazy things I believed in my life like the tooth fairy, world peace, Bruce, none of those worked out. So, what the hell, what the hell, what the hell, there's no reason I shouldn't believe this as well. A sailor en route to his Antarctic mission has fallen in love with this unsung musician and my music gives him the strength to sail on through the storm and with wind and the grey of the dawn I will believe every word that he said, I believe that my music can summon the dead, transcend the laws of physics, knock logic on its back; I don't care if I'm delirious, delirious I will believe Ernest Shackleton Loves Me. He loves me! Yeah, he loves me! A dead explorer loves me! I believe that Ernest Shackleton loves me.

dry your eyes, there's my dear never mind where you are, only know you are here in the eye of the storm now chin up, take my hand you may be far from home, but you're safe on dry land in the eye of the storm never mind that you're out on the edge of the earth and it seems like you'll never succeed when you think that you're down, fight for all that you're worth, and you'll find that you have all the strength that you need if you can't catch a break, hunker down, soldier on, now your task is to make those you love safe and warm don't regret what has been let it go, for we'll never be right here again. who needs sleep? breathe in deep be the calm in the eye of the storm.
