Eastern Phantasy/L.A.

If your heart is full of sand,

The desert is your only friend,

The Sphinx will whisper in your ear,

"There’s only one way of getting out of here."

Precious time slips by.

If we had a thousand nights,

To share some wine and a song,

And tell a story or two,

Would you hate me for telling the truth?

The claws, the breasts, the flowing mane,

She's standing before you again.

Grains fall through the glass.

We take a trip out of time,

Recite a Mythical Rhyme.

We pass pyramids in decline,

The lady lion gives a sign.

Count the grains of sand.

We'd ride to the edge of town,

To hunt the jackals all down.

The snakes would gather around.

The scribes would take it all down.

Sand shifts in the wind.

The desert goes on for miles.

You can't tell if the lady smiles.

You know she's been here for a while.

Sitting silently by the Nile.

Sand blows in your face.

Written in sand,

Invisible hand,

Savior or damned,

Lawrence of Arabia.

Nobody knows,

Nobody goes,

Like being a ghost,

Lawrence of Arabia.

End of all time,

Intelligent design,

Dangerous mind,

Lawrence of Arabia.

Ride like the wind,

Might be a sin,

Where it begins,

Lawrence of Arabia.

If your heart is full of sand,

The desert is your only friend,

The Sphinx will whisper in your ear,

"We'd better get out of here."

The claws, the breasts, the flowing mane,

She's asking you riddles again.

Let the games begin.

The sun disappears out of sight.

The feeling that something's not right.

The path disappears into night.

The wind beats a trail to your right.

Sand gets in your eye.

The future is taking too long.

You find your just trying to hang on.

To the words of a Mystical Song,

In your head, but now they're all gone.

Sand is closing in.

The lady is turning away,

Not willing to see you this way.

She only wanted to play.

Now it is done, she's not going to stay.

Liquid sand is glass.

Written in sand,

Invisible hand,

Savior or damned,

Lawrence of Arabia.

Nobody knows,

Nobody goes,

Like being a ghost,

Lawrence of Arabia.

End of all time,

Intelligent design,

Dangerous mind,

Lawrence of Arabia.

Ride like the wind,

Might be a sin,

Where it begins,

Lawrence of Arabia.

No one believes,

Nobody agrees,

Nobody reads,

Lawrence of Arabia.

Isn't it grand,

Blood in the sand,

Slips through your hand,

Lawrence of Arabia.

A god or a man,

Blue eyes and a tan,

Tell US the plan,

Lawrence of Arabia.

Future is dead,

All in your head,

Nobody read,

Lawrence of Arabia.
