Camels - Bill Callahan

Camels dying in the desert

Dropping to their knees

War is man’s nature

And I take notes aggressively

Of camels dying in the desert

In the heat, in the heat, in the heat, in the heat

Well, the house is hot too

So don’t start no fire

Or we’ll burn right up in two

Well, baby’s gone to get more ice

For icing down the dying

Camels in the desert

As he watched the drought on TV

From your rowing machine

War is man’s nature

And I’m a man

In a peaceful kind of place

Can’t separate the man from his place

Like to separate the canyon from its grace
