I hear your heartbeat but you're never there
like a mirage, you haunt me everywhere
all day long
i burn for you, lonely in the night
i tried to live alone, but i just can't get it right
ya' know that, this town's like a painted desert
dead heat, movin' in the city
i'm lost in a painted desert
in a painted desert without you
I've done some thinkin', now that you're not here
i know your reasons, and they're still not clear
all i'm sure of is what i got to lose
i tried to be a better loser, but it's just no use
Ya' know that this town's like a painted desert
dead heat, movin' in the city
i'm lost in a painted desert
in a painted desert without you
Walkin' in the sundown, i search in vain
waitin' on the wind that whispers out your name
through concrete canyons echoing a world of other faces
no direction looks like home
where is my oasis?
Ya' know that this town's like a painted desert
dead heat, movin' in the city
i'm lost in a painted desert
in a painted desert without you
in a painted desert without you
where is my oasis?
