Oh I come from a land, from a faraway place Where the caravan camels roam Where it's flat and immense And the heat is intense It's barbaric, but hey, it's home
{ Original first verse (1992-93): Oh I come from a land, from a faraway place Where the caravan camels roam Where they cut off your ear If they don't like your face It's barbaric, but hey, it's home }
When the wind's from the east And the sun's from the west And the sand in the glass is right Come on down Stop on by Hop a carpet and fly To another Arabian night
Arabian nights Like Arabian days More often than not Are hotter than hot In a lot of good ways
Arabian nights Neath Arabian moons A fool off his guard Could fall and fall hard Out there on the dunes
