Again I would wander  
Where memories enfold me  
There on the beautiful island of dreams  
Far far away on the island of dreams

</div>

I have my books and my poetry to protect me  
I am shielded in my armor  
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb  
I touch no one and no one touches me

I am a rock, I am an island

And a rock feels no pain  
And an island never cries

No man is an island,  
No man stands alone,  
Each man’s joy is joy to me,  
Each man’s grief is my own.

We need one another,  
So I will defend,  
Each man as my brother,  
Each man as my friend.

When the nights’s on fire will you keep the Candlelight Burning  
Hold on to your hearts desire  
When you see one bird into the wind another one’s turning  
And the two can fly much higher

We are Islands but never too far, we are Islands  
And I need your light tonight, and I need your light tonight,  
We are Islands but never too far, we are Islands  
And I need your light tonight, and I need your light tonight

Islands in the stream  
That is what we are  
No one in between  
How can we be wrong  
Sail away with me  
To another world

Jupiter Island is full of pleasures  
Glowing gardens holding hidden treasures  
Luminous flowers of yellows and greens  
Glittering petals that have to be seen  
Here’s your chance don’t let it pass you by  
Take my hand and we’ll fly

Jupiter Island is surrounded by oceans  
Majestic ballerinas with graceful motions  
Magenta forests on a crimson sea  
The electric clouds ar as vivid as can be  
Scarlet moons in a domino sky  
Take my hand and we’ll fly

Come on let’s fly to Jupiter Island  
Just take my hand and we’ll fly

Fly me to the moon  
And let me play among the stars  
Let me see what spring is like  
On Jupiter and Mars

In other words, hold my hand  
In other words, darling, kiss me

So kiss me and smile for me,  
Tell me that you’ll wait for me,  
Hold me like you’ll never let me go.  
'Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane,  
Don’t know when I’ll be back again.  
Oh, babe, I hate to go.

Fighting madly in the baggage claim,  
Just like World War Two,  
I thought I heard her calling my name,  
But I lost my love and my baggage, too.

She´s gone.  
Now we´ll never fly united,  
A promise unrequited,  
No future to join.  
Our love is on a 747,  
Halfway to heaven,  
Passing over Des Moines.

You’ll think Heaven’s door has opened

Mama put my guns in the ground  
I can’t shoot them anymore  
That cold black cloud is comin’ down  
Feels like I’m knockin’ on heaven’s door

Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door  
Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door  
Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door  
Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door

Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me;  
Twice on the pipe if the answer is no.

As pretty as you are, you know you could have been a flower  
If good looks was a minute, you know that you could be an hour  
The way you stole my heart, you know you could have been a crook  
And baby you’re so smart, you know you could have been a schoolbook

Well, you could have been anything that you wanted to  
And I can tell, the way you do the things you do

You really swept me off my feet, you made my life complete  
You made my life so bright, you make me feel alright

I don’t mind, other guys dancing with my girl  
That’s fine, I know them all pretty well  
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light  
Better leave her behind with the kids,  
The kids are alright

Don’t get too lost in all I say  
Though at the time I really felt that way  
But that was then and now its today  
I can’t get off yet and so I’m here to stay  
'Till someone comes along and takes my place  
With a different name and yes a different face.

Ya’ feelin’ allright?  
I’m not feelin’ too good myself  
Well, ya’ feelin’ allright?  
I’m not feelin’ too good myself

Open up the window, let some air into this room  
I think I’m almost chokin’ from the smell of stale perfume  
And that cigarette you’re smokin’ 'bout scare me half to death  
Open up the window, sucker, let me catch my breath

Mama told me not to come  
Mama told me not to come  
“That ain’t the way to have fun, son”  
“That ain’t the way to have fun, son”

Come on 'cause I know what I like  
And you’re looking just like my type  
Let’s go for it just for tonight

We’re both going home satisfied  
Let’s go for it just for tonight  
C’mon, c’mon, c’mon

Some people remember the first time  
Some can’t forget the last  
Some just select what they want to from the past  
It’s a song that you danced to in high school  
It’s a moon you tried to bring down  
On a four-in-the-morning drive through the streets of town

Come on come on, it’s getting late now  
Come on come on, take my hand  
Come on come on, you just have to whisper  
Come on come on, I will understand

Come on Eileen  
Oh, I swear what he means (what he means)  
At this moment you mean everything  
You in that dress  
My thoughts I confess  
Verge on dirty  
Oh, come on Eileen
