Island Life |
| Keep believing you soon will earn your turn to flash in the pan |
| It’s deceiving 'cause nothing kills like this metropolis can |
| Everywhere there’s blind ambition |
| Dog eat dog and screw you |
| You do unto others and they do unto you |
| Everyday you fight taxicabs and traffic, permanent frowns |
| Lay awake at night wondering if you hear burglary sounds |
| Think it’s time to make my exit |
| Kiss all this goodbye and |
| Catch the next flight south connecting to my island life |
| Look at me I’m a refugee from the island life |
| I belong where the shade is palm and the mango’s ripe |
| I’ll do all my swinging in some hammock by a turquoise sea |
| For free |
| Guess it must be clear I do not belong in this cityscape |
| I am not from here and I do intend to make my escape |
| Take me back to waterfalls in volcanic canyons |
| Where coconuts and orchids are my sole companions |
| Look at me I’m a refugee from the island life |
| I belong where the shade is palm and the mango’s ripe |
| How inviting it would make always killing time if you |
| Came too |
| Can’t you see we’re just refugees from the island life |
| We belong where the shade is palm and the mango’s ripe |
| We’ll do all our swinging in some hammock by a turquoise sea |
| For free |
