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 try to live alone, but I just can't get it right Chorus: 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 (chorus) Walkin' 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 (chorus) In a painted desert without you, where is my oasis
