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
