Desert on fire... Desert on fire... Fire in the desert, my, oh, my... Somewhere near an old gold mine Of mountain trails and barren lands A squirrel named "Fiedme" resides One hot day while foraging He met a pretty yucca tree Completely and utterly He fell in love Now each day will never be the same for Fiedme Haunted by white flower dreams in his reverie A large but quiet Joshua tree Perceived the change in Fiedme "Pray tell, what's gotten into you, so strange?" "You seldom eat, you barely sleep, Are you troubled, are you sick? Is there something I can do to help you Fiedme?" This triggered a confession with his best friend "I'm mad for love, she's all I ever wanted!" "I'm in love..." "I'm in love..." An introduction ensued Between Joshua and Fiedme's muse Exchanging smiles and glances so peculiar The desert changed its hue Foreboding colors, rocks turned blue The lady tree is quite taken with his best friend Now that day will never be the same for Joshua It seems a Spanish bayonet has marked his brittle heart He's in love... He's in love... When Fiedme finally realized He felt betrayed and made a vow Was gone for days, nowhere to be found He left a note for Joshua Carved from burnt wood, crooked lines "You win this time, I'll see you in the next life." Now that day will never be the same for everyone The desert's changing color once again It's on fire... It's on fire... Fire in the desert, yeah yeah yeah Fire in the desert, yeah yeah yeah Fire in the desert, yeah yeah yeah
