Arabian Nights

Oh, I come from a land, it's a faraway place Where the caravan camels roam Where you wander among every culture and tongue It's chaotic, but, hey, it's home When the wind's from the east And the sun's from the west And the sand in the glass is right Come on down, stop on by Hop a carpet and fly To another Arabian night Arabian nights Like Arabian days More often that not are hotter than hot In a lot of good ways Arabian nights Like Arabian moons A fool off his guard could fall, and fall hard Out there on the dunes As you wind through the streets Of the fabled bazaars In the cardamom-cluttered stalls You can smell every spice While you haggle the price Of the silks and satin shawls Oh, the music that plays as you move through a maze In the haze of your pure delight You are caught in a dance You are lost in the trance Of another Arabian night Arabian nights Like Arabian days They seem to excite, take off and take flight To shock and amaze Arabian nights Like Arabian dreams This mystical land of magic and sand Is more than it seems There's a road that may lead you To good or to greed through The power your wishing commands Let the darkness unfold or find fortunes untold Well, your destiny lies in your hands Only one may enter here One whose worth lies far within A diamond in the rough Arabian nights Like Arabian days More often that not are hotter than hot In a lot of good ways Arabian nights Like Arabian moons A fool off his guard could fall, and fall hard Out there on the dunes Pack your shields, pack your swords You won't ever get bored Leave the world unexplored, you might Call it mad, call it crazed But let Allah be praised It's another Arabian night Night
