Island Life (Album Version) - Michael Franks (迈克尔·弗兰克斯)[00:00:00]
Written by:MICHAEL FRA[00:00:00]
Keep believing you soon will earn your turn to flash in the pan[00:00:26]
It's deceiving 'cause nothing kills like this metropolis can[00:00:33]
Everywhere there's blind ambition[00:00:39]
Dog eat dog and screw you[00:00:43]
You do unto others and they do unto you[00:00:46]
Everyday you fight taxicabs traffic permanent frowns[00:00:53]
Lay awake at night wondering if you hear burglary sounds[00:00:59]
Think it's time to make my exit[00:01:06]
Kiss all this goodbye and[00:01:09]
Catch the next flight south connecting to my island life[00:01:12]
Look at me I'm a refugee from the island life[00:01:19]
I belong where shade is palm and the mango's ripe[00:01:25]
I'll do all my swinging in some hammock by a turquoise sea[00:01:32]
For free[00:01:41]
Guess it must be clear I do not belong in this cityscape[00:01:45]
I am not from here and I do intend to make my escape[00:01:52]
Take me back to waterfalls in volcanic canyons[00:01:58]
Where coconuts and orchids are my sole companions[00:02:05]
Look at me I'm a refugee from the island life[00:02:11]
I belong where shade is palm and the mango's ripe[00:02:18]
How inviting it would make always killing time if you[00:02:24]
Came too[00:02:33]
Can't you see we're just refugees from the island life[00:03:04]
We belong where the shade is palm and the mango's ripe[00:03:10]
We'll do all our swinging in some hammock by a turquoise sea[00:03:17]
For free[00:03:26]
Can't you see we're just refugees from the island life[00:03:30]
We belong where the shade is palm and the mango's ripe[00:03:37]
We'll do all our swinging in some hammock by a turquoise sea[00:03:43]
For free[00:03:52]
Can't you see we're just refugees from the island life[00:03:56]
We belong where the shade is palm and the mango's ripe[00:04:03]
We'll do all our swinging in some hammock by a turquoise sea[00:04:09]
