Lyrics (unofficial)

There's an inland sea
I can see it before me
Those gold doubloons, pieces of eight
Oh my god I hope I'm not too late
On my desert ship
On my desert ship

We blow into town
The silver rush sound
The diamonds in her teeth
The wreck upon the reef
Of my desert ship

Drowning in the sand
Shooting from the hip
Sailing on the land
In my desert ship
In my desert ship

There's an inland sea
Where whales are swimmin' 'round in a dream
Hoist the sails boys
Let's meander down
Around the scene
In my desert ship

We fall into space
I can feel that cosmic wind in my face
The treasure in my chest
Shooting down a crest
In my desert ship
Desert ship

Drowning in the sand
Shooting from the hip
Sailing on the land
In my desert ship
In my desert ship
In my desert ship
In my desert ship
Woo!
(In my desert ship)
(In my desert ship)
(In my desert ship)
(In my desert ship)
