Dust In the Wind

Lyrics

It's a long way from Manila to Amsterdam It's a long way from Amsterdam to Portland too But when your love life is vanilla And your head's a traffic jam Then what's a poor wild gypsy girl to do? Sometimes carrots dangle Destinations are then pinned An opportunity arises Too good to rescind So, you switch your course and horses The old paradigm is binned And there you go again Dust in the wind Now the water's edge is calling I hear the chime of a distant bell An eclipse of ships, piratical in the night And with that scarlet keepsake I could voodoo your torn, torn heart And spirit you back to the Crystal Hotel With sable brushes in your hair And Africa in your hips Your stalkers and your suitors in pursuit Wеll, you throw them off the foxy scent Thеn predator is prey You squint one eye, take aim And then you shoot Sometimes carrots dangle Destinations are then pinned An opportunity arises Ah, it's too good to rescind So, you switch your course and horses The old paradigm is binned And there you go again Dust in the wind You whispered your secret gypsy name And stitched a dream upon my sheet Then inhaled another Casanova's Kiss Left sweetmeats and black lilies With the concierge Dust in the wind You will be missed Dust in the wind You will be missed Dust in the wind You will be missed
