Outside of Needles I nearly lost my mind I pulled over on the shoulder Yeah, and I was there for some time A young thing came walking From out behind the trees She gave me consolations And this is what she said to me [Chorus] "Firebirds! Energy weapons! Both these things are interesting to me I don't care how you get them I need them both and I need them urgently" Yeah, I said I can get with that Oh, I like those things too But I don't own a Firebird Perhaps this Datsun will do Outside of the valley Yeah, we got to overheating She took off her sungla**es And said I believe this bears repeating Outside of Barstow We got to living on the lam Sometimes doing odd jobs And sometimes living off the land Yeah, things went sour And the girl, she got to packing When I asked her why She said "There are two things you are lacking"
