Painted Desert

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 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 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 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? 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 In a painted desert without you Where is my oasis?
