She left our home and crossed hot land
For reasons most don’t understand
Her son won’t know his mum or dad
That kind of hole tears you in half
We can’t be whole with broken parts
The sun sets cold on unloved hearts
My father told me I’m no man
Look dad, I’m roaming the mojave
My stomach churns
My flesh turns to dust
In the burning sun
But I press along
Somewhere past the hurt
My sister lurks
And while this body works
I’ll never give up
Hail Caesar! Hail Caesar!
They can’t warp her mind so they criticise her
Hail Caesar! Hail Caesar!
She’s one of a kind so they ostracise her
Hail!

We live a culture built on sand
At 4 a sword placed in your hand
And no one knows just who you are
We hold The Fort in fucking sandals
Our fighting comes at cost
We bind our problems to the cross
If mighty Rome falls we are lost
When light is bold we snuff the candles
I’ve got prickly heat
My spirit is beat
And my blisters bleed
I’m sniffing up tears
But
Each day gets worse
My sight is blurred
But I do it all for love
Tell Cindy I’m coming!
XXX
Hail Caesar! Hail Caesar!
I’m heading through towns where they all despise her
Hail Caesar! Hail Caesar!
I’ve known all along that I’m going to find her
Hail
