Out Island



Buy Out Island on CD Baby or iTunes

Aren't you glad we found this island
Glad we brought along the basket too
Let's find a good spot and don't go wandering
Just you look at me and I look at you

Let's let food make us lazy the sun make us crazy
And love make us sore
We can scream into a bottle and cork it and launch it
For someone to find on some other shore
No one hears us no one sees us do what we do
'Cause the natives are deaf and blind and the sky is so blue

La la island
La la our island
Out island

Will you have a leg or a wing?
I though for a minute the bushes moved -- it's nothing, really nothing
Never mind darling, take my napkin
Whatever that is it's dribbling down your chin

La la island
La la our island
Out island

I'm so happy I'm so sleepy

It's so dark how long have I been asleep
I dreamt that we could not find our way back to the turnpike
Our car had washed up on a traffic island
Then I woke up to see your fins gleaming in the moonlight

La la island
La la our island
Out island

A far cry from here in some other universe a star falls
The natives eyes shine and rattle together like eightballs
They laugh at the strangest things
The night is a hollow ring

Don't leave me here
Don't leave me here
Don't leave me here
Don't leave me here
