Lyrics This Island Life - Violent Femmes

This Island Life

This tea’s too strong for me
As I await your company
I had too much sun today
Ocean waters wash away
Nothing but the present
Presenting its presence
This island life
Separate my right from my wrong
No I am not pagan
But my heart has been forsaken
And the hand of God was on my mind
It took some time from time to time
Now in the course I know
Time itself will go when
This island life
Separates my right from my wrong
You forget your shoes and I
I have sent a message but I
There’s so many stars in the sky
It’s the truths that will not lie
There’s a young wild native maiden
Running mad and barefoot to the sea until
This island life
