PAT BENATAR - PAINTED DESERT lyrics

rate me

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

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

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

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?

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

In a Painted Desert without you

Where is my oasis?
