📝 LYRICS …

All through the great Southwest
You find desert cities
Lost in the sands of time
Where no people live

These cities are inhabited
If they’re inhabited
By snakes and birds
Lizards and
The spirits of the element

And when finally
Out of the blue
We arrive at knowing
Access is granted to

The Blue World
All through the great Southwest
You stumble on desert cities
Lost in the sands of time

Where no people live
Look for the cities
From you car window
They shimmer like mirages
On the horizon

But I can assure you
They’re real

And when finally
Out of the blue
We arrive at knowing
Access is granted to
The Blue World

Look for the cities
From you car window
They shimmer like mirages
On the horizon

But I can assure you
They’re real

And when finally
Out of the blue
We arrive at knowing
Access is granted to
The Blue World

Look for the cities
From you car window
They shimmer like mirages
On the horizon

But I can assure you
They’re real

And when finally
Out of the blue
We arrive at knowing
Access is granted to
The Blue World
