Dingo Lover

I lead you through the desert
I’m always by your side
I never loved a woman
Who left unsatisfied
Silent and uneasy
Gentle as can be
I’m your dingo lover
Don’t turn your back on me

I lick my lips with wonder
I’ll never wear the blame
I always find protection
From fools who think I’m tame
The pain I bring is dreadful
I only came to hurt
I’ll take your heart and hide it
In the yellow desert dirt

Speak of me with wonder
Put the blame elsewhere
I’m a demon for destruction
And I never really care
Cradle me and pet me
Forget that I am wild
I’m your dingo lover
And you are just a child
