There's a sandstorm coming in
Lock the door and bar the windows
Feed the dog and get the cat
Cause the sandstorm's closing in
How many fingers must I cross?
And how many prayers must I say?
How many chances must I pass?
To get the hell away?
There's a sandstorm going on
The door is locked, the windows barred
The dog is barking, the cat is gone
But I'm not there
How many rivers must I cross?
How many miles must I walk?
And how many mountains must I crawl?
To escape the sandstorm in my mind?
Take me away
Take me away
Take me away
Take me away
Take me away
Take me away
Take me away
Take me away
How many fingers must I cross?
How many prayers must I say?
How many chances must I pass?
To get the hell away?
