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 try to live alone, but I just can't get it right
Chorus:
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
(chorus)
Walkin' 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
(chorus)
In a painted desert without you, where is my oasis
