Dope Island - T-Bone Burnett

We lived outside the law

We struck with wild desire

We blinded all we saw

We made the sun our fire

But now a line’s been crossed

Our intuition lost

Where yellow orchids bloomed

The land is scorched an doomed

We were both here and gone

We rode with cruel deceit

We took the moon at dawn

The stars fell at our feet

But now the die’s been cast

Our vision fading fast

Where rivers ran with cold

Darkness falls through the banyan tree

Beating wings of no birds

Waves of loneliness break on me

In the sound of no words

But now the night’s gone dead

The hours filled with dread

Where blue magnolias laid

The colors twist and fade

We lived outside the law

We struck with wild desire

We blinded all we saw

We made the sun our fire.
