[Refrain]
Dreamin' takes my mind away
It suffocates my brain airwaves
Optical illusion, a sheet of water
Heat perfusion, search the corners
[Verse 1]
The last oasis is like a fragile flower in a necropolis
Alone in this weather that covers our world
Last oasis is floating like a lost astronaut - Adagio
We have nowhere to go
[Refrain]
Dreamin' takes my mind away
It suffocates my brain airwaves
Optical illusion, a sheet of water
Heat profusion, search the corners
[Verse 2]
The last oasis is the rarest bird that I've ever known
Rara avis is shedding her feathers one at a time
Last oasis wobbles in the desert sands
Standing sentinel in a prison, trapped in our home
[Refrain]
Dreamin' takes my mind away
It suffocates my brain airwaves
Dreamin' takes my mind away
It suffocates my brain airwaves
Optical illusion, a sheet of water
Heat perfusion, search the corners
Optical illusion, living movements
To be proven, says Zurbuchen
[Verse 3]
The last oasis is like a flag beating in the wind
World has wasted and the squandered lands are companionless
Last oasis shines a beacon like a lighthouse
Over lonely countries of death like a black sea
The Last Oasis was written by Joey Walker & Ambrose Kenny-Smith & Stu Mackenzie.
The Last Oasis was produced by Stu Mackenzie.
