Car broke down on 101
Beneath the Arizona sun
Unlike California’s ain’t no fun
Unless you like a ray gun stun
To your head

I keep movin’ down the shoulder
Outlook weaker, down from bolder
As I look at my new cell phone
Which is dead

The flip side of elation
Only fix for dehydration
Is a melted ice cream cup
In my hand

People keep on passin’
5 to 1 says I ain’t lastin’
Past where the next heat wave shrouded marker stands

Asked aloud for help to find me
Or providence to guide me
Blue sedan appeared beside me
To the plan

Two women look divine
Whose very intro changed my life
Spoke words that made me feel
Not less than

We’re the sisters of the desert
Your good fortune can’t be measured
Our mere presence is your pleasure
Terms of payment is life’s treasure

Go ahead and drop that Blizzard
While we heal you like a lizard
Regenerate your very soul
Keep you from going down that hole

You get one more shot
Whether you know it or not

I know I’ve seen these girls before
Heat index 120 or more
Need to reel in my mind and
Flashback stores

Got to get them back on duty
Decrypt some mystic, Valley beauty
My fervor for the sibs no revolving door

Sister one reminds me
Of the Motor City
Where the man pledged amour to lady C

I often wondered how it’d be
With long black hair all fancy-free
If she happened in a wild dream to find me

We’re the sisters of the desert
Your good fortune can’t be measured
Our mere presence is your pleasure
Terms of payment is life’s treasure

Go ahead and drop that Blizzard
While we heal you like a lizard
Regenerate your very soul
Keep you from going down that hole

You get one more shot
Whether you like it or not

Sister two reminds me
Of when I was told to come and see
The Breakfast movie
On TV

Enamored was I, with the star
And with the view inside the car
She conjures her image quite easily

We’re the sisters of the desert
Your good fortune can’t be measured
Our mere presence is your pleasure
Terms of payment is life’s treasure

Go ahead and drop that Blizzard
While we heal you like a lizard
Regenerate your very soul
Keep you from going down that hole

You get one more shot
Whether you accept it or not

Reunited with my faculties
While breathin’ in their AC

First of the last things said to me was,
Finally

We’re the sisters of the desert
Your song and smile was our treasure
All Sister services paid in full

Go replace that tasty Blizzard
Since we healed you like a lizard
Regenerated your soul
Kept you from going down that hole

One more shot yet to be taken
Woman’s life force to awaken
Don’t get caught, watching the clock

Left the ride, the last words spoken
double hold remains unbroken
The Sisters presence to me, converse of ennui

I admit my new affliction
The most superior to fiction
Binary beauties, you’ll ever see

My thoughts forever will be
Of the sisters and me

Forever will be
Of the sisters and me
