There is people in a picture
Hanging on the hall wall
We watch them cross the desert from an armchair in the hall
We saw the world from the edge of our seat
We danced with the harem and drank with shieks
The man on the back of the camels were following me
And we make ourselves a home at the foot of the steps
Blankets and old wooden chairs and we stayed there
We laid there, the room got smaller
We begged for water but went for air
So we ran away from our old winter home
The carpet was sand and our lamp was the sun
So let's get outside cause we've been inside for too long
And we take a drive and the buildings all turn to trees
And after a while we find ourselves down by the sea
The beach was a desert outside in an old magazine
The sheiks and the harem were under the waves
The camels had all washed away
And no one is happier
And nothing is free
So I think to myself we should go and get us a drink
