lyrics
Out in the desert
It’s very desolate
And in the silence
You can hear everything
The days are hot
The nights are cold
The stars are bright
This is a wild place
Chorus:
Deadly Beauty
What you do to me
You make me feel free
I feel so alive but I am doing all I can to survive
There’s ocotillo
And lechuguilla
Oh Dios Mio
A javelina’s in your jacal
These rugged mountains
Oceans of sand
If you can stand it
This is a way of life my friend
Chorus
A devil’s witch
Out in the distance
It’s like a dream here
And sometimes things don’t seem so real
Deep in the canyon
There was a fire
Started by lightning
It cut us off from everyone
Chorus
Bridge:
Montañas de oro bajo de las nubes
La luz es tan azul
Escucha a los chisos del desierto
It’s very desolate
And in the silence
You can hear everything
The days are hot
The nights are cold
The stars are bright
This is a wild place
Chorus:
Deadly Beauty
What you do to me
You make me feel free
I feel so alive but I am doing all I can to survive
There’s ocotillo
And lechuguilla
Oh Dios Mio
A javelina’s in your jacal
These rugged mountains
Oceans of sand
If you can stand it
This is a way of life my friend
Chorus
A devil’s witch
Out in the distance
It’s like a dream here
And sometimes things don’t seem so real
Deep in the canyon
There was a fire
Started by lightning
It cut us off from everyone
Chorus
Bridge:
Montañas de oro bajo de las nubes
La luz es tan azul
Escucha a los chisos del desierto

about
Before Dawn Appleton, Wisconsin
“A hook and synth-laden wall of sound decorated with memorabilia from 70s punk rock, 80s new wave, 90s club music and, well, just about anything else you can think of! With a timeless showmanship and knack for comedic timing, this two-person outfit is guaranteed to start a full-on dance party with or without you.” – Shawn Petsche, Sled Island Music Festival Promoter ... more
