They say the city never sleeps But this one sure looks tired Outside the bars they shoot the breeze But it doesn’t fan the fire.
And we’ll burn, burn, burn in the shadows Run, run, run in the heat We will tear down the walls that have towered above And drown in the desert of love.
They say the night has a thousand eyes But your two eyes will see me through We will dance by the light of a melting moon And watch the sky turn midnight blue
And we’ll burn, burn, burn in the shadows Run, run, run in the heat We will tear down the walls that have towered above And drown in the desert of love.
From the bottom line of a tender trap From the dance halls to Damascus You are the road, you are the map Your eyes light up my darkness
And we’ll burn, burn, burn in the shadows Run, run, run in the heat We will tear down the walls that have towered above And drown in the desert of love.
