A Stranger Comes
Her good eye
Saw me coming
Her bad eye
Saw something else
Her stereo vision
Saw mirages
And miracles
She should have known better
But what's a girl to do?
With waring eyes
In a desert
With an oasis
And a love of scorpions
But a fear of fleas
The camel trader
Seemed nice
And trustworthy
She went with him
To follow her dreams
Saw me coming
Her bad eye
Saw something else
Her stereo vision
Saw mirages
And miracles
She should have known better
But what's a girl to do?
With waring eyes
In a desert
With an oasis
And a love of scorpions
But a fear of fleas
The camel trader
Seemed nice
And trustworthy
She went with him
To follow her dreams

Ironic is it that camels have fleas. . .someone couldn't see the forest for the trees.
