Lyrics

The Secret Life Of Arabia

The secret life of Arabia

Secret, secret never seen

Secret, secret ever green

I was running at the speed of life

Through morning's thoughts and fantasies

Then I saw your eyes at the cross fades (secret, secret, never seen)

Secret, secret ever green

The secret life of Arabia

Never here, never seen

Secret life, ever green

The secret life of Arabia

You must see the movie the sand in my eyes

I walk through a desert song when the heroine dies

Arabia

(Secret, secret)

Arabia

Secret

Arabia

(Secret, secret)

Arabia

Arabia

(Secret, secret)

Arabia

Arabia

(Secret, secret)

Arabia

Arabia

(Secret, secret)

The secret life of Arabia

Never here, never seen

Secret life, ever green
