I took a line that leads you to the opium trail

Oriental eyes reveal the lies, deceit, betrayal

On this journey behold the one who travels far

You called him fool but now you are The wizard wanders through the world we made from dreams

The splashing whirlpool drowns the frightened screams

Exotic dancers, flashing lenses, this mysterious space

The fanfare advances, the warlord falls from grace It clears your pain

But it's got you claimed again, my love

You feel the need but it lets you bleed

You must concede, my love No one to blame, no shame

You crave again and again, my love

No used to plead from you

It feeds on your greed, my love

Oh, it's got to you, my love I took a line that comes from the golden states of Shan

The smugglers trail that leads you to the opium den

The Chinese connection refines to heroin

Depart the heart you crave again It clears our pain

But your soul is claimed again, my love

You feel the need, but it lets you bleed

You must concede, my love No one to blame, no shame

You crave again and again, my love

No use to plead

From you it feeds your greed, my love
