Emerald haunt in overdrive
Nightmare descent into Jericho City
Camel dust heralds our arrival
New Christ beneath the drum kit moon

Who never got to meet you last time
We're interrupted by the telephone

We need more wine and gold
We need slaves and roads and personal favours
We need microphones and manifolds

So now we're cruising down this shuddering highway
With a dead sun shining on my back
And we talk about the way people treat us back there
The hollow laughter the pain in their eyes

But money strangles our love
Struggling like a fool with my junk and my jewels
You would have thought I'd had enough
