《Island Life(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:01] Island Life - Michael Franks

[00:00:26] Keep believing you soon will earn your

[00:00:28] Turn to flash in the pan

[00:00:33] It's deceiving 'cause nothing kills like this metropolis can

[00:00:40] Everywhere there's blind ambition

[00:00:43] Dog eat dog and screw you

[00:00:46] You do unto others and they do unto you

[00:00:53] Everyday you fight taxicabs and traffic permanent frowns

[00:00:59] Lay awake at night wondering if you hear burglary sounds

[00:01:06] Think it's time to make my exit

[00:01:09] Kiss all this goodbye and

[00:01:12] Catch the next flight south connecting to my island life

[00:01:19] Look at me I'm a refugee from the island life

[00:01:26] I belong where the shade is palm and the mango's ripe

[00:01:32] I'll do all my swinging in some hammock by a turquoise sea

[00:01:41] For free

[00:01:45] Guess it must be clear I do not belong in this cityscape

[00:01:52] I am not from here and I do intend to make my escape

[00:01:58] Take me back to waterfalls in volcanic canyons

[00:02:05] Where coconuts and orchids are my sole companions

[00:02:11] Look at me I'm a refugee from the island life

[00:02:18] I belong where the shade is palm and the mango's ripe

[00:02:25] How inviting it would make always killing time if you

[00:02:33] Came too

[00:03:04] Can't you see we're just refugees from the island life

[00:03:10] We belong where the shade is palm and the mango's ripe

[00:03:17] We'll do all our swinging

[00:03:19] In some hammock by a turquoise sea

[00:03:26] For free

[00:03:30] Can't you see we're just refugees from the island life

[00:03:37] We belong where the shade is palm and the mango's ripe

[00:03:43] We'll do all our swinging

[00:03:45] In some hammock by a turquoise sea

[00:03:52] For free

[00:03:56] Can't you see we're just refugees from the island life

[00:04:03] We belong where the shade is palm and the mango's ripe

[00:04:10] We'll do all our swinging

[00:04:11] In some hammock by a turquoise sea
