And it crept up on us in the way that it doesAnd the moment disappearedIn the desert of us, all our tears turned to dustNow the roses don't grow hereI guess that love does what it wantsAnd that's just too bad for us
Was it all just sleight of hand?Another trick that fate has played on us againTwo heads in the sandI hear you talking but I just can't understand
Caught in no man's land between the wiresComing under friendly fireCan't go forward, can't go back again
And it crept up on us in the way that it doesAnd the moment disappearedIn the desert of us, all our tears turned to dustNow the roses don't grow hereI guess that love does what it wantsAnd that's just too bad for us
Flying high with both eyes closedAlmost touched the sun, I guess we got too closeNow I'm dancing on my ownBut the music's not as good when you're alone
Caught in no man's land between the wiresComing under friendly fireCan't go forward, can't go back again
And it crept up on us in the way that it doesAnd the moment disappearedIn the desert of us, all our tears turned to dustNow the roses don't grow hereI guess that love does what it wantsAnd that's just too bad for us
We wanna talk but we don't wanna listenWe play pretend but we both know it's missingIf love burns too bright, it burns out in a minuteAt least that's what I tell myselfWe wanna talk, but we don't wanna listenWe play pretend but we both know it's missingIf love burns too bright, it burns out in a minuteAt least that's what I tell myself
And it crept up on us in the way that it doesAnd the moment disappearedIn the desert of us, all our tears turned to dustNow the roses don't grow hereI guess that love does what it wantsAnd that's just too bad for us
