[Intro — hand drums, wind over the dunes, a lone wooden flute in a strange scale] [Verse 1 — low, dreamy, sparse] Camels walking on the ceiling Sand pouring from the moon Footprints walking on without me Toward a door inside a dune Every well I find is empty Every star is upside down Then I hear you singing somewhere Like water underground [Chorus — heavy guitars crash in] Real mirage (real mirage) Too good to be true Real mirage (real mirage) But I'm walking into you (Ooh, real mirage) [Verse 2 — low, dreamy, sparse] Kings of salt on thrones of glass Selling shade to passing men Every promise in this desert Blows away again But your hand is cool and steady And your shadow's on the ground Things that vanish leave no footprints Yours are all around [Chorus — heavy] Real mirage (real mirage) Too good to be true Real mirage (real mirage) But I'm walking into you (Ooh, real mirage) [Bridge — sludgy guitar solo in exotic scales, then the haze clears] Close my eyes (Close my eyes) You're still there (Still there) Not a dream Not the air (Ooh — falsetto rising over the guitars) [Final Chorus — heaviest moment] Real mirage (real mirage) Too good to be true Real mirage (real mirage) But I'm walking into you (Ooh, real mirage) [Outro — drums fade, the wind settles, water trickling, oasis birdsong] (Spoken) Still here.
