Oingo Boingo - Islands lyrics

Island in the sea Are so much like me They don't ever change--no emotion, no emotion Islands on the land Dry like desert sand Island in the city All alone it's such a pity Chorus It's just a masquerade Just painted laces When will it change Never Islands in the seas What's come over me We are both surrounded by the water--empty water Give me mystery--and the fear it brings Anything at all to break up the monotony Chorus Islands in the sea Forever . . . forever
