Sloth - Island Dreaming lyrics

[Verse One] Roasting in the sunlight I'm burning getting freckles I don't like the beach I brood like Logan Echols I'd just like to swim but the sharks want to eat me There's no way to travel cause the jets all beat me Pat me down and with a frown I'm sent to take the bus rout Walk the ground climb a mound like I was a Roman war scout See the barren wasteland of the suburbs it's war now Cla** on cla** just like the spelling bee award wow Trophy just for trying like consolation mayhem Teachers teach me everything but we don't want to pay them So preach from the streets friend hoist your signs high Don't hide behind Tweety bird or sly will tan your hide But I'm reading war and peace on the beach with some coke and rum Learning peace from the east there's a breach in my fun Knock over the sand castle getting grain in my shorts Blowing the whistle is such a ha**le it's just a game in the reports [Hook] It's not what it's seeming But it's island dreaming It's not what it's seeming But the sunlight is gleaming It's not what it's seeming Yeah it's island dreaming Yeah it's island dreaming … it's island dreaming [Verse Two] I'm red like lobster Cooked like a mobster I'm not a Goodfella I don't hang with robbers I'd just like to eat but the tide keeps coming in Washing away my wallet while my patience is running thin I just want lunch sit with a hunch to not feel the hunger pains Tighten my belt just one notch has the world gone insane Green food green girls like my name was Shatner Free to brood free worlds I'm a bad actor So I keep a straight face sit in my place while the world burns Pocket ace I'm a disgrace and now my stomach turns Like I don't sleep well if that's at all But I spend all day in bed like a broken wall East floods to west and now we're all drowning Meek meets the best and everyone is clowning We're all embarra**ing our selves again Lets just go swimming in a one piece my friend [Hook]
