Oingo Boingo - Islands lyrics

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
