Lyrics
Out on the Island
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sit here alone most nights,
fighting with myself,
Cheating on the mirror,
'Cos I can't blame no-one else,
And these endless conversations,
That go on inside my head,
Go round and round so many times,
Till nothing quite makes sense.
Out on the island -
Don't have to fight the contradictions,
And out on the island,
Even the victim ends up winning.
Long distance operator,
Please connect me to the mainland,
There's someone there,
I hope I might understand,
I don't have a ticket out here,
Just enough determination,
To keep myself from dying inside,
Till I reach Wonderland.
