    its far from my best b/c i did it sober, and it still needs more work. but tell me what you think!

    Can't really sleep,
    but too tired to think,
    too sick to drink,
    a heart too broke to beat,
    and a car that can't be on the street,
    see, there is this desert rose i wish apon
    but sometimes the hot desert heat hits me like napalm on Vietnam,
    and all around the rain pours down yet i still get burned,
    been down this road before yet i still haven't learned,
    crows do laps around my head as they shit on my shoulder,
    and i can feel myself growing older,
    heated, but colder,
    or so the saying goes,
    i really didn't mean what i said, did you mean what you chose?
    now i yonder for the blooming of that sweet desert rose

    the best line, in the middle:

    "but sometimes the hot desert heat hits me like napalm on Vietnam"

    really juicy!

    i loved *all* of it, however.

    good, but u may want to rename it or change it a little, desert rose is a really famous sting song.
