Getting High in Dubai - Eden Lyrics

Eden is always asking me why
Stars seem to fall from the sky
How do mountains swallow the dark
Who is sadder the owl or lark
Can answers we need ever be found
If I walked the whole world around
How many oysters cracked open for pearls
So confusing for little girls

Eden tells me her dreams
And how the world's not as it seems
She'll be happy when she grows up
Better places far away
Where parents don't leave they stay

Eden's always asking me when
She'll see her mother again
Tell her life has no guarantees
In her tiny voice she agrees
Only lucky people have tears
And believe in their own prayers

Eden tells me her dreams
And how the world's not as it seems
She'll be happy when she grows up
Better places far away
Where parents don't leave they stay

Eden's always asking me why
The sun never fails to rise
And why aren't people the same way
And if I'm going to stay
Let's pretend we're both giraffes
And that starts to make her laugh
Unable to find golden keys
Eden escapes from reality
