- Painted Desert Lyrics / with translationsI 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.
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.
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.
