  I took a line that leads you to the opium trail

  Oriental eyes reveal the lies, deceit, betrayal

  On this journey behold one who travels far

  The wizard wanders through the world he made from dreams

  The splashing whirlpool drowns the frightening screams

  Exotic dancers, flashing lancers, this mysterious space

  The fanfare advances, the warlord falls from grace

  It clears your pain, but it's got you claimed again, my love

  No-one to blame, no shame, you crave again and again, my love

            D/A                                  E
  No use to plead, from you it feeds your greed, my love

  It's got you, my love

  Depart the heart you crave again
