Midnight at the Oasis Lyrics

[00:07.45] Midnight at the oasis
[00:12.25] Send your camel to bed
[00:17.08] Shadows paintin' our faces
[00:20.97] Traces of romance in our heads
[00:26.96] Heaven's holdin' a half-moon
[00:31.57] Shinin' just for us
[00:36.57] Let's slip off the road, sand dune, real soon
[00:42.42] And kick up a little dust
[00:45.11] Come on, Cactus is our friend
[00:50.05] He'll point out the way
[00:54.84] Come on, 'til the evenin' ends
[00:59.78] 'Til the evenin' ends
[01:03.35] You don't have to answer
[01:08.19] There's no need to speak
[01:12.62] I'll be your belly dancer, prancer
[01:18.78] And you can be my sheik
[01:23.78]
[01:58.93] I know your daddy's a sultan
[02:03.78] A nomad known to all
[02:08.55] With 50 girls to attend him, they all send him
[02:14.83] Jump at his beck and call
[02:18.37] But you won't need no harem, honey
[02:23.37] When I'm by your side
[02:28.16] And you won't need no camel, no-no
[02:33.87] When I take you for a ride
[02:36.96] Come on, Cactus is our friend
[02:41.85] He'll point out the way
[02:46.66] Come on, 'til the evenin' ends
[02:51.42] 'Til the evenin' ends
[02:55.09] Midnight at the oasis
[02:59.83] Send your camel to bed
[03:04.65] Got shadows paintin' our faces
[03:08.44] And traces of romance in our heads
[03:14.78] Ooh, come on, on
[03:20.53] Oh-oh, come on, on
[03:25.32] Ooh-ooh, ooh, yeah
[03:30.14] Oh, oh, yeah
[03:30.30] Oh, oh, ooh, oh
[03:40.75]
