Vermilion Sands Lyrics

My heart is an alligator
Better watch your step - watch your step
This heat is an incubator
Make a diamond sweat - wanna bet
Live life like you're flying solo
Never in the net - in the net

Dancing in silence the orchestra late
In the Essoldo or down by the lake
I don't care

Take me to Vermilion Sands
Hold me in familiar hands
Take me to Vermilion Sands

Sandyacht on a thermal roller
We were never there - never there
Live life like you're flying solo
Never in the air - in the air

Dancing in silence the orchestra late
In the Essoldo or down by the lake
I don't care

Take me to Vermilion Sands
Hold me in familiar hands
Take me to Vermilion Sands
My heart is an alligator
Better watch your step - watch your step
This heat is an incubator
Make a diamond sweat - wanna bet

Take me to Vermilion Sands
Hold me in familiar hands
Take me to Vermilion Sands

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
