The Island Lyrics

You finally made it to the clear

But no one else is there

Just a shadow in the sun as the morning comes

They're still dealing out the cards

And whoever wins the hand

I don't want to be the king

I don't want to rule the island

Your love's waiting by the door

Neighbors spying from the second floor

Sally's boyfriend is selling drugs from his car

Man, she gives the hardest look

I'm only trying to say hello

You can keep your mystery

I don't want to know

What you know

I'm not trying to crack your secret code

I learned my lesson a long time ago

Every day's a learning thing

Every time the doorbell rings

From the dog to the cat

They know where it's at

Watch their eyes close as they sleep

As they dream inside the night

If I came back as a dog

That would be all right

I don't want to be the king

I don't want to rule the island
