In my home of sand

Outside the city of gold

Well, the wind's so burning hot

But my heart remains so cold

I need to buy myself some answers

But the truth's already been sold



Well, I know how to use a razor

Carve my initials in the light

Yes, I know how to use a razor

Carve my initials in the light

Sometimes in the depth of the dark, baby

I can make everything all right



In my home of sand

Outside the city of gold

Well, the wind's so burning hot

But my heart remains so cold, yes it does

The shelter in your eyes

I dream about it when I die, thirst for it when I cry



In my home of sand

Outside the city of gold

Well, the wind's so burning hot

But my heart remains so cold

The shelter in your eyes

I dream about it when I die, thirst for it when I cry, when I cry



My meal of salt

Upon that table of stone

My meal of salt

Upon that table of stone

Your feat's so sweet

While I thirst here all alone



In my home of sand

Outside the city of gold

Well, the wind's so burning hot

But my heart remains so cold, yes it does

I need to buy myself some aspirin

But the truth's already been sold
