Opium Trail

[Verse 1] I took a line that leads you to the opium trail Oriental eyes reveal the lies, deceit, betrayal On this journey behold one who travels far You called him fool, but now you are [Verse 2] The wizard wanders through the world he made from dreams The splashing whirlpool drowns the frightenin' screams Exotic dancers, flashing lancers, this mysterious space The fanfare advances, the warlord falls from grace [Chorus] It clears your pain, but it's got you claimed again, my love You feel the need but it lets you bleed, you must concede, my love No one to blame, no shame, you crave again and again, my love No use to plead, from you it feeds your greed, my love [Post-Chorus] Oh, it's got you, my love [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] I took a line that comes from the golden states of Shan The smuggler's trail that leads you to the opium den The Chinese connection refines to heroin Depart the heart you crave again [Chorus] It clears all pain, but your soul it's claimed again, my love You feel the need but it lets you bleed, you must concede, my love No one to blame, no shame, you crave again and again, my love No use to plead, from you it feeds your greed, my love [Guitar Solo]
