Lyric 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 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.
