Lets give the monkey something to swing on
That boys been hanging around for days
Im not the kind of man to lean on
That monkey best not swing my way
But more than this
For just one kiss
Ill k** these men in your name
And sail away
Well build an island
Well build an island
Well build an island in your sea of tears
And call it home for a hundred years
An island in your fleeting fears
Dont call this home, dont call this home
Lets give the ba*tards a lesson in love
After all thats the Roman way
Ill find a last word they can lean on
And get the monkey off of me
But more than this
With just one fist
Ill raise a coup in your name
And sail away
Well build an island
Well build an island
Well build an island
Well build an island
Well build an island in your sea of tears
And call it home for a hundred years
An island in your fleeting fears
Dont call this home, dont call this home
Well build this island
