Lyrics


1. LIVING ON AN ISLAND

Easy when you're number one
Everybody say you're having fun
Smiling for the public eye
When your body say you wanna die

Living on an island
Looking at another line
Waiting for my friend to come
And we'll get high

Hugh he got a real nice place
Cruxie gonna be there soon
And I just want to see his face
I'm getting lonely in my empty room

Living on an island
Working at another line
Waiting for my friend to come
And we'll get high

Passing time away in blue skies
Thinking of the smile in her eyes
Easy, it's easy

Living on an island
Oh boy, we're having fun
Living on an island
Thinking 'bout the things I've done

Living on an island
Searching for an other line
Waiting for my friend to come
And we'll get high

Waiting for my friend to come
And we'll get high
I said we're gonna get high
Yeah, we're gonna get high

We're gonna touch the sky
Sky...sky...sky...sky...sky...sky...


2. RUNAWAY

Riding on a high
Riding so high now I'm leaving
Am I running far from my own fears
I'm never facing up

I never face up to the reasons
And never showing any of my tears
Cos i Leave out the back way
Not the way that I came in
Beacuse it seems like the logical way, at the time

And then I run, run, run
And seek a hideaway
I'm on the run, run, run, I'm falling
Run, run I'm a runaway

Can I go back
Can I go back where I started
I always will remember my needs

Take me far away
Take me away to an island
And leave me hear to cry in my own tears
Try me once again

Try me again when you're passing
Maybe I'll remember you in years

I can't go out the back way
Just the way that I came in
I hope it seems like the logical way, at the time

Beacuse I'll run, run, run
And seek a hideaway
I'm on the run, run, run, I'm falling
Run, run I'm a runaway

Can I go back
Can I go back where I started
I always will remember my needs

Looking for so long
But I am listening longer
I haven't seen or heard a thing from you
I can't stay here

I couldn't stay here if you paid me
I can't give you any guarantees
I won't
Go out the back way

Not the way that I came in
Beacuse it seems like the logical way, at the time

And then I run, run, run
And seek a hideaway
I'm on the run, run, run, I'm falling
Run, run I'm a runaway

Can I go back
Can I go back where I started
I always will remember my needs

Can I go back
Can I go back where I started
I always will remember my needs
I always will remember my needs
I said, I always will remember my needs
