Dried Up

I'm an ancient lake
On the desert floor
Like bones in the sun
Need I say more
I'm like a dead leaf
In a December wind
My juices are gone
I'm a has-been

Dried Up
Desiccated
Dehydrated
Evaporated
Dried Up
Ashes and dust
Liquid gone
Dried Up

I'm like The Beatles
When they ran out of songs
I'm like a steak
That's been cooked too long
I'm like Death Valley
The planet Mars
Ain't no music
In my guitar

Dried Up
Desiccated
Dehydrated
Evaporated
Dried Up
Ashes and dust
Liquid gone
Dried Up

I'm like Willie Nelson
On a bad day
Waiting for the Reaper
To sweep me away

Dried Up
Desiccated
Dehydrated
Evaporated
Dried Up
Ashes and dust
Liquid gone
Dried Up
