Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The secret life of Arabia
Secret secrets never seen
Secret secrets evergreen
[Verse 2]
I was running at the speed of life
Through morning's thoughts and fantasies
Then I saw your eyes at the cross fades
[Verse 3]
Secret secrets never seen
Secret secrets evergreen
[Verse 4]
The secret life of Arabia
Never here, never seen
Secret life, evergreen
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Arabia
Secret, secret
Arabia
Secret
Arabia
Secret, secret
[Verse 7]
Arabia
Arabia
Secret, secret
Arabia
Arabia
Secret, secret
Arabia
Arabia
Secret, secret
[Verse 8]
The secret life of Arabia
Never here, never seen
Secret life, evergreen
Written by: Brian Eno, Carlos Alomar, David Bowie
