In this great city, you don't hear church bells ring Everybody dances, but nobody sings And in the winter, there's never snow on the ground As I look out my window at the rivers of black I wanna get out on that highway and never come back I sit and wonder, has it all pa**ed me by Islands in the sky Skyscraper temples way above the clouds And a streetcorner preacher shouting out loud Nobody listens and nobody cares But everybody needs a dream Everybody needs and island in the sky Islands in the sky (Ooh...) Islands in the sky (Ooh...) Make a young boy's dreams (Ooh...) Make an old man cry Islands in the sky Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) Islands in the sky, oh-oh Islands in the sky (Ooh...) Islands in the sky (Ooh...) Make a young boy's dreams (Ooh...) Make an old man cry Islands in the sky (Ooh...) Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) Islands in the sky (Ooh...) Someday I'll be there, I just don't know when It's so far away now, but it won't be then I don't know, I don't know Everybody needs a dream Everybody needs and island in the sky Islands in the sky (Ooh...) Islands in the sky (Ooh...) Make a young boy dream (Ooh...) Make an old man cry Islands in the sky (Ooh...) Islands in the sky (Ooh...) Whoa-whoa-whoa (Ooh...)
