The moon glows bright on the desert tonight

There's no liquid to be seen

A kingdom that's parched and lifeless

And it looks like I'm the queen

The sand dunes shift like the feelings I have inside

Couldn't keep them in, heaven knows I tried

x

Don't let them in, don't let them see

Be the good girl you always have to be

Conceal, don't feel, don't tell them why

Now they know why

x

Let it dry, let it dry, make cracks form on the earth

Let it dry, let it dry, I'll show them what I'm worth

I don't care what they're going to say

Let the drought rage on, my thirst never bothered me anyway.

x

It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small

And the fears that once would flood me can't get to me at all

It's time to see what I can do

To test the limits and break through

No right, no wrong, won't live a lie, goodbye

x

Let it dry, let it dry, I'll soak up every drop

Let it dry, let it dry, my reign will never stop

Here I stand, and here I'll stay

Let the drought rage on…

x

Sea level's dropping, now let's see the ocean floor

Ice, water, water vapor, they're not welcome anymore

And one thought hits me like a strong Saharan blast

I'm never going back, the past is in the past

x

Let it dry, let it dry, and I'll rise like the break of dawn

Let it dry, let it dry, that perfect girl is gone

Here I stand in the light of day

Let the drought rage on…

My thirst never bothered me anyway.
