[Verse 1]
I get out of bed, I get my toast
To the perfect shade of gold
I live in the city, you don't deliberate
You set goals and you reach goals
So I went to the desert (Looking)
Looking for the zero degree
Shopping for expanse (Checking)
Ch-ch-ch-checking out the history
[Chorus]
The sweat upon my neck (Don't it touch a nerve?)
Takes on a significance (Something deep within)
Alice, you shine Arrernte and white
Early in the morning
[Verse 2]
Out by the chasm, the gap, the rock
The waterhole, loving the dust
Dancing hip-to-hip, she said, "I think you're deadly, but
You don't really want to come to the Bronx"
I saw you in the aisle
He was out in the main street
"Yeah, he's been keeping me up all night," you said
As we arrived at the Safeway deli
[Chorus]
The sweat upon my neck (Don't it touch a nerve?)
Takes on a significance (Something deep within)
Alice, you shine Arrernte and white
Early in the morning
