Painted Desert by Pat Benatar

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?
