Every night I grab life by the neck
Drag it up ten flights of steps
And throw it naked on the bed
What's it all about?
It's my island
My friends all said that it's a dead end
But they got it all wrong it's like a loose friend
I had some before - now I want it all

It's all just at my beckon call
All that walks and half that crawls
It's all this and this is all
What's it all about?
It's my island
I had it before I was a boyfriend
I had it before the money got spend
I had some before - now I want it all

Sometimes I get the gift of gab
Then everything is up for grabs
And Mr. Yaweh gets the Tab
What's it all about?
It's my island
This world ain't got a thing to show me
I ain't got a quarter of what it owes me
I had some before - now I want it all

I get up with the morning light
Grab the oyster take a bite
Send it back if it ain't right
What's it all about?
It's my island
This whole world is here to serve me
In actual fact it don't deserve me
I had some before - now I want it all
