Outside the motel sign
Flickers deep red
As shadows start to creep
I cannot sleep

Oh, won't you come to me
My darling rose
There's a spectre in our bed
And I must know

So strange when love grows old
Strange love is cold
My hands grow possessed
I will have my vengeance yet

Return your dress to me
The one undressed
Her wedding band spins
Across the floor

The desert's full of eyes
And snarling teeth
Time has no place
Where there is no sleep

So strange when love grows old
Strange love is cold
My hands grow possessed
I will have my vengeance yet

There's no ghost in her eyes
And I die
So through the dusty weeds
I drag, I drag

So strange when love grows old
Strange love is cold
My hands grow possessed
I will have my vengeance yet

There's strange love in the desert
There's a stranger in the dust
There's strange love in the desert
There's a stranger in the dust
