Chris Whitley — New Lost World lyrics

Lyrics

When at last I was left for dead
the dissident sister took me in underground at the edge of time
desire alone forgoes the crime
In the new
the crime in the new lost world
into the new
into the new lost world
She goes unscathed against the sky
empires and nations flyin by over the hills the truths divide
desire alone to be her guide
Through the new
into the new lost world
through the new
into the new lost world
We trace them engines in the sand
we taste them tensions on the wind
divined to run a highway raw
desire alone against the law
In the new
the law in the new lost world
into the new
into the new lost world
