Turned me into rainnBefore I ran to firenOne man's wake to shamenIs another's cold desirennPushed up to the edgenWith such a believable fallnOne man's arcade isnAnother's wrecking ballnnChorus:nnAnd still I stay on my islandnMy islandnAnd still I stay on my islandnnTune me in from grainnBefore the signal's lostnOne man's limits fallnOn another's rising costsnOne's man putdownnIs another's anthem gloriousnAll that we toss awaynComes back to nnChorus X2nBut you can't say I'm not tryingnnWhat are we waiting for?nI've been billed a salenMade out of the veilnI held over my viewnNow I'm overduenComing through to younTo fall out of my viewnnHow long cannYou withstandnThe length of our commandsnHow long cannWe pretendnWe're on own our islandnHow long cannWe defendnOur own meridiannHow long cannWe dependnOn this old oxygen
