Lyrics for Camels

Camels dying in the desert Dropping to their knees War is man's nature And I take notes aggressively Of camels dying in the desert In the heat, in the heat, in the heat, in the heat Well, the house is hot too So don't start no fire Or we'll burn right up in two Well, baby's gone to get more ice For icing down the dying Camels in the desert As he watched the drought on TV From your rowing machine War is man's nature And I'm a man In a peaceful kind of place Can't separate the man from his place Like to separate the canyon from its grace
