I've been through the desert on a horse with no name

[TriStar]

I still can't remember my name.

On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

After nine days I let the horse run free
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
there was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

Ah, yes, another great hit that he kiddies will never understand.

I was travellin? West a buckskin on my way to a cattle run
Cross a little cactus desert under a hot blisterin? sun
I was thirsty down to my toenails, stopped to rest me on a stump
But I tell ya I just couldn?t believe it when I saw that water pump
I took it to be a mirage at first, it?ll fool a thirsty man
Then I saw a note stuck in a bakin? powder can
?This pump is old?, the note began, ?but she works so give?r a try?
?I put a new sucker washer in ?er, you may find the leather dry?

?You?ve got to prime the pump, you must have faith and believe?
?You?ve got to give of yourself ?fore you?re worthy to receive?
?Drink all the water you can hold, wash your face, cool your feet?
?Leave the bottle full for others, Thank You kindly, Desert Pete?

?Yeah, you?ll have to prime the pump, work that handle like there?s a fire?
?Under that rock you?ll find some water I left in a bitters jar?
?Now there?s just enough to prime it with so dontcha go drinkin? first?
?You just pour it in and pump like mad, buddy, you?ll quench your thirst?

?You?ve got to prime the pump, you must have faith and believe?
?You?ve got to give of yourself ?fore you?re worthy to receive?
?Drink all the water you can hold, wash your face, cool your feet?
?Leave the bottle full for others, Thank You kindly, Desert Pete?

Well I found that jar and I tell ya nothin? was ever prettier to my eye
And I was tempted strong to drink it, cuz that pump looked mighty dry
But the note went on ?have faith my friend, there?s water down below?
?You got to give until you get?I?m the one who ought to know?
So I poured in the jar and I started pumpin? and I heard a beautiful sound
Of water bubblin? and splashin? up outta that hole in the ground
I took off my shoes and I drunk my fill of that cool refreshing treat
I thank the Lord and thank the pump and I thank old Desert Pete

?You?ve got to prime the pump, you must have faith and believe?
?You?ve got to give of yourself ?fore you?re worthy to receive?
?Drink all the water you can hold, wash your face, cool your feet?
?Leave the bottle full for others, Thank You kindly, Desert Pete?

?Drink all the water you can hold, wash your face, cool your feet?
?Leave the bottle full for others, Thank You kindly, Desert Pete?

Baby Beluga in the deep blue sea,
Swim so wild and you swim so free.
Heaven above, and the sea below,
And a little white whale on the go.

Baby beluga, baby Beluga, is the water warm?
Is your mama home with you, so happy.

Way down yonder where the dolphins play,
Where they dive and splash all day,
The waves roll in and the waves roll out,
See the water squirting out of your spout.

Baby beluga, baby Beluga, sing your little song,
Sing for all your friends, we like to hear you.

When it's dark, you're home and fed,
Curl up snug in your water bed.
Moon is shining and the stars are out,
Good night, little whale, goodnight.

Baby beluga, baby Beluga, with tomorrow's sun,
Another day?s begun, you'll soon be waking.

Baby Beluga in the deep blue sea,
Swim so wild and you swim so free.
Heaven above and the sea below,
And a little white whale on the go.
You?re just a little white whale on the go.

Cuz now it's not a horse with no name, and anyone who says so is a liar.

Conquistador your stallion stands
In need of company
And like some angel?s haloed brow
You reek of purity
I see your armour-plated breast
Has long since lost it?s sheen
And in your death mask face
There are no signs which can be seen



And though I hoped for something to find
I could see no maze to unwind
Conquistador a vulture sits
Upon your silver shield
And in your rusty scabbard now
The sand has taken seed
And though your jewel-encrusted blade
Has not been plundered still
The sea has washed across your face
And taken of it?s fill



And though I hoped for something to find
I could see no maze to unwind
Conquistador there is no time
I must pay my respect
And though I came to jeer at you
I leave now with regret
And as the gloom begins to fall
I see there is no, only all
And though you came with sword held high
You did not conquer, only die



And though I hoped for something to find
I could see no maze to unwind
