Lyrics
The sun is burning
The generator fails
We must make the light
400 miles past the edge of the sand
A canvas
Knew what a desert biomed had to get done
Strip the solar panels off the medical roof
Time to put the engineering to the living proof
Harness the sun at the current flow
To the desert wind where the red does blow
And cruise the battery, jump a cable line
Making that surgical halogen shine
No factory manual in the
Sahara sand Just a quick thinking wisdom of a human hand
Current in the wire, sun in the sky we're gonna let
this surgery die.
Twisted copper leaves with my pliers in the dust
Bolted to the alternator through the heat and rust
Rev the Toyota engine, 3 ,000 high
Channel pure DC underneath the open sky
Ran the cables through the tent flap, snapped the suction on
Heard the steady hum of a battle won
Surgeon looked up to the halogen glare
Sun, that's a miracle flying through the air
Honest to sun, let
through the air Thank you.
steady in the desert fire
Cause the sun let the current flow
Through the desert wind where the rain does blow
Black cruiser battery, jumper cable line
Making that surgical halogen shine
No factory manual in the
Sahara sand Just the quick thinking wisdom of a human hand
Curving in the wire, sun in the sky
We will not let this surgery die
I'm going down
you
