Ever played Fallout: New Vegas and activated the Wild Wasteland trait? Then you have a pretty good idea what Palm Springs feels like: A desert town full of bizarre encounters;  full of healing crystals and EDM; of Q-folks and failed Hollywood writers. And yet: A good time can be had here. I wrote a song about it. Hope you enjoy!

Don't know how many times 
I've been asked before 
What this is all about 
what I'm doing this for 
Wearing my blue jeans 
putting on that sweater 
the one you said that looks 
like I can brave any weather. 

Your sister she told me 
you live no longer there 
I wish I would have known 
wish I would no care 
Been chasing down the bear 
lured me in his home 
Why am I doing that 
can't I be alone. 

You, you're messing with my heart 
You, you're tearing me apart 

One by one you win them over 
just with a smile 
One by one and then you go back 
hoping to find 
A reason to go on 
now you're overcome 
A feeling of despair 
what is there to come? 

It takes one to make two 
but you don't know why 
You're counting down your luck 
then you count the stars 
I went into the inn 
I could not get out 
Why are we doing this 
if not to be so near 

You, you're messing with my heart 
You, you're tearing me apart 

I'll go anywhere, anywhere with you 
I'll go anywhere, anywhere with you 

You, you're messing with my heart 
You, you're tearing me apart
