Island of the Honest Man |
| I was picked up and then dropped off in a culture counter-clockwise turned |
| around |
| Dug a hole in Southern Carolina — took me straight to China safe and sound |
| Donated my map to the lost and found |
| While working for a common cause I only got a kamikaze state of mind |
| This self defeating meeting of the minds is eating what was once so hard to find |
| But right then the clouds parted in the sky |
| The horizon took us all a little by surprise, by surprise |
| Watch the sky |
| And as the howling winds subdsided, the locals ran out, all waving their hands |
| and singing: |
| Welcome to the island of the honest man |
| Do what you want — there is no need to impress us Welcome to the island of the honest man |
| We don’t believe in what the big people tell us Wait here — stay here |
| I was picked up and then dropped off in a culture counter-clockwise turned |
| around |
| Rolled a pair of dice in Paris that got me to paradise all safe and sound. |
| Stole my temper back from the lost and found |
| No longer needed to be seated on a sinking ship just waiting there to drown |
| There to drown — jump off now |
| And as they lead us to their village, a thousand voices all started to sing out |
| loud: |
| Welcome to the island of the honest man |
| Do what you want — there is no need to impress us Welcome to the island of the honest man |
| We don’t believe in what the big people tell us Wait here — stay here |
| From the sunrise up above to the sunset below, they all sing |
| Welcome in, welcome back, well come on let’s go And all the people on the island they already know why they sing |
| Welcome in, welcome back, well come on let’s go From the sunrise up above to the sunset below, they all sing |
| Welcome in, welcome back, well come on let’s go And all the people on the island they all want to show why they sing, |
| why they sing, why they sing, why they’re singing |
| Welcome to the island of the honest man |
| Do what you want — there is no need to impress us Welcome to the island of the honest man |
| We don’t believe in what the big people tell us Welcome to the island of the honest man |
| This is the island of the honest man |
| Welcome to the island of the honest man |
| This is the island of the honest man |
| Wait here — stay here |
| I was picked up and then dropped off in a culture counter-clockwise turned |
| around |
