Dear Mother[00:00:10]

I'm lying on a white hot blanket[00:00:11]

Wishing you were here[00:00:14]

We're a thousand miles from Cairo[00:00:16]

And it's taken us a year to get this far[00:00:19]

Dear Mother[00:00:26]

I've grown a beard in the last three weeks[00:00:27]

And I can't see nothing but sand[00:00:30]

You wouldn't recognize me Mother[00:00:32]

But I know you'd understand[00:00:35]

Dear Mother[00:00:43]

We spend the nights under canvas[00:00:44]

Dreaming of ice cold beer[00:00:47]

And we spend the days in the desert[00:00:49]

I miss you Mother dear[00:00:52]

Riding on Joey's camel[00:00:54]

How did you escape[00:00:58]

Riding on Joey's camel[00:00:59]

How did you escape[00:01:03]

Dear Mother[00:01:05]

We found the Ten Commandments[00:01:06]

Mother[00:01:08]

Just like I said we would[00:01:09]

But somebody broke our compass[00:01:12]

Mother[00:01:14]

And the water is no good[00:01:14]

And Beau said it was sabotage[00:01:17]

So I laughed at him and said[00:01:20]

Mother wouldn't let that happen[00:01:23]

Beau[00:01:25]

But Beau was dead[00:01:26]

So I left him in the sand dunes[00:01:28]

And I struck out on my own[00:01:31]

With a page of hieroglyphics[00:01:33]

And the tablets of stone[00:01:36]

Riding on Joey's camel[00:01:38]

How did you escape[00:01:43]

Riding on Joey's camel[00:01:49]

How did you escape[00:01:54]

Dear Mother[00:02:00]

They attacked while I was sleeping[00:02:01]

Dreaming of ice cold beer[00:02:04]

But when they saw what I was carrying[00:02:06]

They backed away in fear[00:02:09]

They said the hand of God is upon you[00:02:11]

It is written on the wall[00:02:15]

Dear Mother[00:02:17]

They must have thought I was Elijah or something[00:02:18]

With the beard and all[00:02:21]

So they led me down to the catacombs[00:02:23]

The walls were lined with bones[00:02:26]

And a voice said he'd give me three of his wives[00:02:29]

For just a glimpse of the stones[00:02:32]

Dear Mother[00:02:33]

I said that I had lost them[00:02:34]

They were buried in the shifting sands[00:02:37]

But they said if I didn't give them the tablets[00:02:39]

They'd cut off both of my hands[00:02:42]

Mother[00:02:45]

Riding on Joey's camel[00:02:45]

How did you escape[00:02:49]

Dear Mother[00:02:55]

Riding on Joey's camel[00:02:56]

How did you escape[00:03:00]

Mother[00:03:06]

Dear Mother[00:03:06]

I'm running out of water[00:03:07]

Mother[00:03:10]

The map was a fake[00:03:10]

Now I'm stuck on the Devil's anvil[00:03:13]

Mother[00:03:15]

Payin' for Beau's mistake[00:03:16]

I woke up in a sandstorm[00:03:18]

I'd had a terrible dream[00:03:21]

I'd broken the Ten Commandments[00:03:24]

Mother[00:03:26]

I began to scream[00:03:27]

But something else was out there[00:03:29]

Following the scent[00:03:32]

And it cast the shadow of a cobra[00:03:35]

On the walls of the tent[00:03:37]

Riding on Joey's camel[00:03:39]

How did you escape[00:03:43]

Riding on Joey's camel[00:03:45]

How did you escape[00:03:49]

Dear Mother[00:03:51]

I hadn't got a rifle[00:03:52]

Or a dagger or a sword[00:03:54]

So my only other weapon[00:03:56]

As the word of the Lord[00:03:59]

So when it wrapped itself around my body[00:04:02]

And it started crushing bones[00:04:05]

I had to make a decision[00:04:08]

Mother[00:04:10]

It was me or the stones[00:04:11]

Riding on Joey's camel[00:04:13]

How did you escape[00:04:17]

Riding on Joey's camel[00:04:18]

How did you escape[00:04:22]

Dear Mother[00:04:24]

I'm lying on a white hot blanket[00:04:25]

Wishing you were here[00:04:27]

I'm a thousand miles from Cairo[00:04:30]

And it's taken me a year to get this far[00:04:33]

To get this far[00:04:40]

Riding on Joey's camel[00:04:44]

How did you escape[00:04:51]

Riding on Joey's camel[00:04:57]

How did you escape[00:05:02]
