I've laid this island sun a 1000 times I'm on it But I'm going strange This island's chills and shell cover me With winded rock And skies I've got yet to see I tried I even sent in friends They did it as a favor Cause I'm not that way I am the autumn in the scarlet I am the make-up on your eyes I land to sail Island sail Yeah, we're movin Yeah, we're movin This island's sun I've laid 1000 times Fortune me Fortune me Of all my mistakes I think I lent you late But I've never seen a scarlet Or a riot or the violence of you I land to sail Island sail Yeah, we're movin'
