Blue yster Cult — Then Came the Last Days of May

[Verse 1: Buck Dharma] Parched land, no desert sand, the sun is just a dot And a little bit of water goes a long way 'cause (It's hot...) Three good buddies were laughin’ and smokin’ In the back of a rented Ford They couldn't know they weren't going far Each one with the money in his pocket To go out and buy himself a brand new car But they all held the money they had Money they hoped would take them very far [Verse 2: Buck Dharma] Sky’s bright, the traffic light, now and then a truck And they hadn't seen a cop around all day (What luck...) They brought everything they needed Bags and scales to weigh the stuff The driver said, "The border's just over the bluff" It wasn't until the car suddenly stopped In the middle of a cold and barren plain And the other guy turned and spilled Three boys' blood, did they know a trap had been laid? [Outro: Buck Dharma] They’re okay, the last days of May, but I’ll be breathin’ dry air I’m leaving soon, the others are already there (All there...) Wouldn’t be interested in coming along instead of staying here? It’s said the West is nice this time of year, that’s what they say
