On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair.

Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light.

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim.
我的头越来越沉,视线也变得模糊。
I had to stop for the night.

There she stood in the doorway,

I heard the mission bell.
我听到远处教堂的钟声。
And I was thinking to myself, "This could be Heaven or this could be Hell".

Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way.

How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.

So I called up the Captain, "Please bring me my wine".

He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here since 1969'.

Mirrors on the ceiling, The pink champagne on ice,

And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device'.

And in the master's chambers, They gathered for the feast.

Last thing I remember, I was running for the door.

I had to find the passage back to the place I was before.
