This desert road's forever winding
It saps your strength it has no exit
The drying wind
The burning sun
I'm tossing the burnt out engine aside

The dizziness is talking over
Perhaps this snakebite's full of poison
Exhaustion's winning
I've no control
It's bringing me down

My fever's getting high
The god of death is dancing
All around and around me
The sun and moon change places
It's a regular rat race, yeah
A welcoming oasis on the distant horizon
Mirage or genuine?
I'm feeling dizzy
I'm getting mesmerized
I'm mesmerized

As I light my last cigarette
Divining my fate
That distant mirage
Should I go?
Or turn away?

So what's the answer?
My fever's getting high
The god of death is dancing
All around and around me
The sun and moon change places
It's a regular rat race, yeah
A welcoming oasis on the distant horizon
Mirage or genuine?
I'm feeling dizzy
I'm getting mesmerized

The god of death is dancing
All around and around me
The sun and moon change places
It's a regular rat race, yeah
A welcoming oasis on the distant horizon
Mirage or genuine?
I'm feeling dizzy
I'm getting mesmerized
