Casablanca
 

Written: Donohue/Getreau/Fisher; Sung: D. Donohue; Backup Vocal: S. Nicks
 

Meeting in a jungle of a hundred burning suns
We couldn't hide, we couldn't run
In a city of mirages, you never know who to trust
This isn't fantasy, this is us

Oh, Casablanca, you were my island
Lost in the middle of an ocean of sand
We were actors in their dreams, ain't it true, baby
Oh, Casablanca, you were my island
Lost in the middle of an ocean of sand

We had everybody's eyes upon us
Where the fundamental things apply
Love never changes as time goes by

Sound stage seven, you'd pretend you're not there
Cameras are rolling, make believe you don't care
We were actors in their dreams, ain't it true, baby

Oh, Casablanca, you were my island
Lost in the middle of an ocean of sand
Oh, Casablanca, you'll never change
Oh, Casablanca, you'll never change
Oh, Casablanca, love never changes

 

WEBMISTRESS speculates:

I don't really like this song, but apparently it was well-received by the music community because not only does Stevie sing backup, but so do Don Henley and a horde of other "celebs." Maybe the show business references appealed to them - Stevie must have liked the "we were actors in their dreams" part, as she could no doubt relate to that!
