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.
You 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 thinking 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.
You know that this town`s like a painted desert. . . .
Walkin` the sundown
I search in vain.
Waitin` for 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?
You know that this town`s like a painted desert.
