VERSE
On a dark desert highway,
Warm smell of colitas rising up through
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway I heard the mission bell
and I was thinking to myself this could be heaven or this could be hell
then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way there were voices down the corridor
CHORUS
VERSE
Mercedes Benz She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
How they dance in the courtyard
VERSE
So I called up the captain
He said 'We haven't had that spirit here since 1969
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
CHORUS
VERSE
The pink champagne on ice
'We are all just prisoners here
VERSE
And in the master's chambers
They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast
VERSE
Last thing I remember I was running
for the door I had to find the passage back to the place
VERSE
we are programmed to receive
