Dust In the Wind

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
