M.I.A. Lyrics by Sheppard

Kaleidoscope Eyes

2021

[Verse 1]
I've been in a haze, running round in a daze
’Cause I don't fit any space, so I'm flipping the page
Yeah, I’m overworked with no pay
So I've been drifting away, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
Time to start again, try to be my own friend
I know it don't make much sense to you
This phase I'm in, but I need to make an escape
So I'll be drifting away, yeah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Ooh, I could leave today
Here's a whole lot of this nothing going on, yeah, yeah
And I can't live this way
Gotta let that engine run

[Chorus]
'Cause I’m MIA, undercover, I’ll be in my zone
Yеah, I'm MIA, you can leave a messagе at the tone
’Cause I'm MIA, everybody wonders where I've gone
But I'm MIA, I’m MIA

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause I'm MIA, yes, I'm MIA
I'm MIA, yes, I'm MIA
I'm MIA, yes, I'm MIA
I'm MIA, yes, I'm MIA

[Verse 3]
Going where I choose, I won't need an excuse
There'll be South Pacific views, then it's on to something new, yeah
I got so much left to live
Don't wanna say I didn't try it

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Ooh, I could leave today
Keep on driving 'til I know I'm lost, yeah, yeah
Make a sweet escape
Gonna let that engine run

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm MIA, undercover, I'll be in my zone
Yeah, I'm MIA, you can leave a message at the tone
'Cause I'm MIA, everybody wonders where I've gone
But I'm MIA, I'm MIA

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause I'm MIA, yes, I'm MIA
I'm MIA, yes, I'm MIA
I'm MIA, yes, I'm MIA
I'm MIA, yes, I'm MIA

[Bridge]
Oh, 'cause I'm MIA (Yeah, I'm on the way)
Oh, 'cause I'm MIA
Oh, 'cause I'm MIA (Yeah, I'm on the way)
Oh, 'cause I'm MIA

[Pre-Chorus 3]
So I'm gonna leave today
Disappear into the setting sun, oh, yeah, yeah
Finally a sweet escape
So watch me, watch me run

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm MIA, undercover, I'll be in my zone
Yeah, I'm MIA, you can leave a message at the tone
'Cause I'm MIA, everybody wonders where I've gone
But I'm MIA, I'm MIA

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause I'm MIA, yes, I'm MIA
I'm MIA, yes, I'm MIA
I'm MIA, yes, I'm MIA
I'm MIA, yes, I'm MIA

[Outro]
'Cause I'm MIA, yes, I'm MIA
I'm MIA, yes, I'm MIA
I'm MIA, yes, I'm MIA
I'm MIA, yes, I'm MIA, oh
