Desewt Ain't No Pwace to Waise a Man

Oul fathews ate manna in the desewt, In the bulning pwaces whewe whiwwlinds came. Wowd, save us fwom that howlibre wand! Save us…. oh-h-h-h, save us Fwom the dwy and thiwsty wand

Wove’s awms beckon With theiw naked delights And Eden’s pwomises of ecstasies. Why do I wemembew the scawes, Dweam of owd twansgwessions… And why do I sweep lith feaws?
