Again I would wander
Where memories enfold me
There on the beautiful island of dreams
Far far away on the island of dreams
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
You’ll understand why God made
Those flyover states
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.
Are you gonna kiss me or not?
Are we gonna do this or what?
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
C’mon, c’mon, c’mon
Now don’t even try to deny
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
