I'm shipwrecked, stuck in the desert
Poor kid, brought up on bad luck
Down here, the dust never settled
Lost year lasting forever

The devil's in the distance, whispering
"It's a long-lost cause"
Throwing glitter as the gloaming falls

Blondes on black sand
The nights with no end
How they slipped through my hands
Like blondes on black sand
The strange melody
Is seducing me
With words I can't understand
From blondes on black sand

We're so fair we keep coming into view
Loom enough from the dark side of the moon
Silhouette stays stuck like a spider web
Could we have missed this if we never met?

The devil's in the distance, whispering
"It's a long-lost cause"
You're throwing glitter as the gloaming falls

Blondes on black sand
The nights with no end
How they slipped through my hands
Like blondes on black sand
The strange melody
Is seducing me
With words I can't understand
From blondes on black sand

Blondes on black sand
The nights with no end
How they slip through my hands
Like blondes on black sand
The strange melody
Is seducing me
With words I can't understand
From blondes on black sand
On the nights with no end
And blondes on black sand
