Lyrics Oingo Boingo – Islands

Islands in the sea
Are so much like me
They don’t ever change—
No emotion, no emotion

Islands on the land
Dry like desert sand
Island in the city
All alone; it’s such a pity

It’s just a masquerade
Just painted laces
When will it change?
Never

Islands in the seas
What’s come over me?
We are both surrounded by the water—empty water
Give me mystery—and the fear it brings
Anything at all to break up the monotony

It’s just a masquerade
Just painted laces
When will it change?
Never

Islands in the sea
Forever…forever
