[Intro]
Oh
Oh
[Verse 1]
In the desert of my dreams
I saw you there (And I'm walking towards)
I'm walking towards the water steaming
Body cold and bare
But your words cut loose the fire
And you left my soul to bleed
And the pain that's in your truth's deceiving me
Has got me scared
[Chorus]
Oh why? (Oh why?)
Oh why? (Oh why?)
Ooh
[Verse 2]
Through your eyes the strains of battle
Like a brooding storm
You're up and down these pristine velvet walls
Like focus never forms
My walls are getting wider
And my eyes are drawn astray
I see you now a vague deception
Of a dying day
[Chorus]
Oh why?
Oh why?
Ooh ah
[Verse 3]
I fall into the water
And once more I turn to you
And the crowds were standing staring faceless
Cutting off my view to you
They start to limply flail their bodies
In a twisted mime
And I'm lost inside this tangled web
In which I'm lain entwined
You're gone and I'm lost inside
This tangled web in which I'm lain entwined
[Chorus]
Oh why?
Oh why?
Ooh ah
[Outro]
Body cold and bare
You left my soul to bleed
Body cold and bare
You left my soul to bleed
Oh, tell me why
Oh, tell me why
Oh, tell me why, why, why
Oh, tell me why
Oh, tell me why
Oh, tell me why
Oh, tell me why, why, why
Oh, tell me why, why, why
Oh, tell me why
Oh, tell me why
Oh, tell me why, why, why
Oh, tell me why
Oh, tell me why
Oh, tell me why
Oh, tell me why
Oh, tell me why
Oh, tell me why
