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 |
