Discover the story of the song > Call Of The West – wall of voodoo

The protagonist leaves his old life behind and travels through the Mojave and Jericho in the hope of starting fresh. He ends up in a new town where an old man warns him that he's not in a Western movie and needs to be careful. The old man tells him that he has a long journey ahead, where he'll hear the call of the west and encounter danger. The lyrics also touch on conflicts between people and nature, and the desire for a fair life.
