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
