What happened to the Sands What happened to the men who stay up so late Whistling "Sweet Soleil" 'til it rose up What happened to the Sands Hotel What happened to the women who would scream and yell Pleading "Mama, needs some new clothes!" Oh, I walked where you once walked And I never thought I would There is concrete and dirt Where it once stood And where it once stood, you stood There is concrete and dirt
Where it once stood And where you once stood, I stand... Oh, such coma causing thought That caught me off guard for one lost hour Oh, so I shook my head and I grabbed my bag La-di-da-di-di-di-da So I ran into a dancer La-di-da-da-da She was all glued-on long lashes And Kandinsky coloured splashes "Is it the golden, glowing, glimmer..." La-di-da-da-da "...that first brought you here?"
