Here we are
Where mirages are all man made
Where dreams can kill
Love is always too late
She’s a runaway
Looking for better days
But no one told her
The truth about this place
Sand turns to liquor
Water turns to whine
You thought different but
For you, this isn’t paradise
Tear drops that disappear into
An ocean that doesn’t really care... About you
Everyone wants to be a flower in the desert
But there’s only water (out there) for a few
Here we are
Where mirages are all man made
Where dreams can kill and
Love is always too late
So here we are, where mirages are all man made
Some will be able to pay in spades
But for you this isn’t paradise
A girl gone rouge with
A face designed for vogue
But beauty’s just a bandage
She’s all alone
And if she feels the spotlight
She’ll find that some can burn
The game is neverending
Once you get your turn
The glitter and fame
If you turn around it fades away
But you can have it all depending
On if, you can, pay a, high price
So here we are
Where mirages are all man made
Where dreams can kill and
Love is always too late
So here we are, where mirages are all man made
Some will be able to pay in spades
But for you this isn’t paradise
