So, you're lost in the desert, you're parched, you've been wandering for days. Would you get to a point where you would want no water? The character in this song alternates between wanting to live and wanting to die. Desperation can do that to you.
How many days have I been wandering?
This sun's making me crazy, and I can't think.
Didn't you hear that, listen, hear that?
The sun's making me crazy.
I want no water, want no water, want no water.
I think this is the way we came...
Been so many days it all looks the same.
Didn't we see this tree before, yesterday?
This sun's making me crazy, crazy.
I want no water, want no water, want no water.
If you can see, you lead the way.
Nothing's clear to me, nothing's clear anymore.
I gotta shut my eyes, shut my eyes.
This sun's eating my brains, it's eating my brains.
I want no water, want no water, want no water.
Didn't you hear that, listen, hear that?
This sun is eating my brains, it's eating my brains.
I want no water, want no water, want no water.
