Robert Marlow - Easternize

Sand in my eyes
Thinking of you
The desert is calling
The reception’s appalling
A camel train to Marrakesh
Desert marauders dressed in micro mesh
Aladdin’s cave is always bare
The sultan’s jewels are never there

We’re jamming and were buzzing on all frequencies
Praying hands reach for the sky
They tell us that the answer’s in the desert
But looking up we wonder

(Why)

Pyramidical repartie
Message to Allah on a channel D
Post card views in the Medina square
Meet you in Cairo but you’re never there
A burst of static in my desert song
(ice cold in Alex your coming soon)
Tickets for two but my plans went wrong
(broken down fan in my hotel room)
A close up shot of Valentin’s eyes
(my magic carpet has worn thread bare)
And smiling speaks in mock surprise
(I’m just a traveller)
The camera lies
We’re jamming and were buzzing on all frequencies
Praying hands reach for the sky
They tell us that the answer’s in the desert
But looking up we wonder

(Why)
We’re jamming and were buzzing on all frequencies
