Deceived, I was, in Bombay's maze,
Deceived, I was, in Bombay's haze.
My cot, it stood, a broken frame,
My cot, it stood, consumed by shame,
In love's cruel trade, a shattered game.
Deceived, I was, in Bombay's maze,
Deceived, I was, in Bombay's daze.

I went to Bombay's bustling street,
And suffered such a bitter defeat.
At a shop, a woman, finely dressed,
Stood, a vision, put to the test.
My heart took flight, my spirit fled,
My heart took flight, all hope was dead,
When touched, a statue, cold and still,
A hollow form, against my will.
Mother, deceived, in Bombay's maze,
Deceived, I was, in Bombay's haze.
My cot, it stood, a broken frame,
My cot, it stood, consumed by shame,
In love's cruel trade, a shattered game.
Deceived, I was, in Bombay's maze,
Deceived, I was, in Bombay's daze.

At another shop, a playful face,
A mischievous form, in that place.
In jest, I pinched, a moment's glee,
Then questioned, what befell me.
By God, that form, a living thing,
By God, that form, began to sing,
A tongue of fire, a cutting sound,
With sharp rebukes, on hallowed ground.
Father, deceived, in Bombay's maze,
Deceived, I was, in Bombay's haze.
My cot, it stood, a broken frame,
My cot, it stood, consumed by shame,
In love's cruel trade, a shattered game.
Deceived, I was, in Bombay's maze,
Deceived, I was, in Bombay's daze.

A drunkard met, and spoke to me,
"Come, brother, let us now agree,
To dance in disco, bright and bold,"
A story there, to be told.
I went with him, in foolish trust,
I went with him, consumed by dust,
He plied me beer, a bitter brew,
And robbed me blind, of all I knew.
Deceived, I was, in Bombay's maze,
Deceived, I was, in Bombay's haze.
My cot, it stood, a broken frame,
My cot, it stood, consumed by shame,
In love's cruel trade, a shattered game.
Deceived, I was, in Bombay's maze,
Deceived, I was, in Bombay's daze.

A woman wild, with forceful hand,
She pushed me hard, across the land.
She seized my arm, I stood aghast,
My world undone, my future cast.
She clung to me, with wicked grace,
She clung to me, in that dark place,
And stole my coins, my every dime,
Then vanished, lost to space and time.
But in that woman's form, disguised,
A eunuch's soul, within me lies.
Deceived, I was, in Bombay's maze,
Deceived, I was, in Bombay's haze.
My cot, it stood, a broken frame,
My cot, it stood, consumed by shame,
In love's cruel trade, a shattered game.
Deceived, I was, in Bombay's maze,
Deceived, I was, in Bombay's daze.
Deceived, I was, in Bombay's maze,
Deceived, I was, in Bombay's daze.
