On the first part of the jour- ney
I was look-ing 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 de-sert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain.
In the de-sert you can re-mem-ber your name,
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain.
La la la-ha la la la la la la la-ah.
La la la la-ha la la la la la la la-ah.
Af-ter two days in the de-sert sun,
My skin be-gan to turn red.
Af-ter three days in the de-sert fun
I was look-ing at a ri-ver bed.
And the sto-ry it told of a ri-ver that flowed
made me sad to think it was dead.
You see I've been through the de-sert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain.
In the de-sert you can re-mem-ber your name,
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain.
La la la la-ha la la la la la la la-ah.
La la la la-ha la la la la la la la-ah.
Af-ter nine days I let the horse run free,
'Cause the de-sert had turned to sea.
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
there was sand and hills and rings.
The o-cean is a de-sert with it's life un-der-ground
And a per-fect dis-guise a-bove.
Un-der the ci-ties lies a heart made of ground
But the hu-mans will give no love.
You see I've been through the de-sert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain.
In the de-sert you can re-mem-ber your name,
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain.
La la la la-ha la la la la la la la-ah.
La la la la-ha la la la la la la la-ah.
