A little bird just told me so. It's time to start over again.

I buried a treasure far off near the desert. I'm trying to find my way there.

It's been too long since I've been myself and my eyes can't see anymore

but there's a song inside this heart of mine

'cause there's an earthquake shakin' inside my country, now what am I gonna do?

we're just slippin' on top of the mouths of our

and I got my girl

and if it seems like we're falling behind,

(seems like they're falling behind)

we're just slippin' on top of the mouths of our mind.
