Here is my latest attempt :)
There are two versions, I am not sure what works best really. I was watching a programme about "Walking the Nile" & got inspired I s'pose 
Scorpion Dance
Under a red hot sun
the shifting sands, the tides that turn
In sirocco winds the dragonfly hums
Under a red hot sun
Their fragile wings of gossamer burn
In shaded palms, where we held hands
We chanced romance, where the scorpion dance
A double take, a second look
You caught my eye, it was all it took
Could this be fate, my true soul mate
Is it love at first sight, or is it fake
Are you the love of my life or more heart-ache
Under a red hot sun
the shifting sands, the tides that turn
In sirocco winds the dragonfly hums
Under a red hot sun
Their fragile wings of gossamer burn
In shaded palms, where we held hands
We chanced romance, where the scorpion dance
Like pages of a well thumbed book
I can’t put you down, you got me hooked
From outta this chest my heart was torn
Swept off my feet by a desert storm
You were the sweetest thing that had ever been born
Under a red hot sun
the shifting sands, the tides that turn
In sirocco winds the dragonfly hums
Under a red hot sun
Their fragile wings of gossamer burn
In shaded palms, where we held hands
We chanced romance, where the scorpion dance
Scorpion Dance edit
A double take, a second look
You caught my eye, that was all it took
When you turned around, oh you had such style
I was set on fire by your glorious smile
In this foreign land, my Queen of the Nile
Under a red hot sun
the shifting sands, the tides that turn
In sirocco winds the dragonfly hum
Under a red hot sun
The fragile wings of gossamer burn
Where rivers meet, I picture this
I hold you close, the longest kiss
In shaded palms where we hold hands
We chance romance, where the scorpion dance
Like pages of a well thumbed book
I can’t put you down, you got me hooked
From outta this chest my heart was torn
Swept off my feet by a desert storm
You are the sweetest thing that has ever been born
Under a red hot sun
the shifting sands, the tides that turn
In sirocco winds the dragonfly hum
Under a red hot sun
The fragile wings of gossamer burn
Where rivers meet, I picture this
I hold you close, the longest kiss
In shaded palms where we hold hands
We chance romance, where the scorpion dance
I hold you close, where the scorpion dance
