I used to live in an oasis
It seemed all around me, was nothing but smoke
Well, as soon as winds picked up
It blew away the mirage and left me with a ghost
So I wandered deserts for a time
It was a pleasure to burn
Ya know, ships at a distance
Have every man’s wish on board
They say no one’s ever made it to her heart.
I say no one’s ever tried.
I swallowed sand and fever
I traversed the stones of old
Harpies sang their silver songs
But my lust it runs for gold
So I walked the withered path
And I paved a road of veracity
As I approached her garden’s gates
My chest pounded with audacity
They say no one’s ever made it to her heart
All who journey past here die
My heart pounds!
And it pounds!
Baby let me in!
I’ve got something, that you’re needin’
I can feel the iron crackin,
I can hear the metal move,
I can see the emeralds glisten,
And not a moment too soon!
They say no one’s ever made it to her heart.
I say no one else is me.
