Pat Benatar - Painted Desert lyrics

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
