lyrics

SPANISH ISLAND

We're gonna get a sunny hideaway
Down on Spanish Island
Me and the missus gonna make our play
Down on Spanish Island

No one likes you
No one cares what you say
There's just something unattractive
Old age as affliction
So cliché

On the highway
No one stays in their lane
Unsafe random fluctuations
Insane, so I

Dig on the guava and the sweet plantain
Down on Spanish Island
Groovy hacienda in the Port of Spain
Down on Spanish Island

On the fairway
Everyone looks the same
There's a quiet desperation a cost
This seclusion for the lost

Drinks at six
Get a load of the time
Better hit the bricks
We stumble down the avenue
Fading away within our gated Xanadu
Our bodies creak
and all our dreams have come unglued
Without a clue
Always me and you

Skinny dipping
Baby's still got an ass
Sit tight till we're sure the moment is right

I miss our steamy rendezvous
I miss that dashing don
that fresh-faced ingénue
For now an island in the sun
will have to do
Some greens and blues
Holding on to you

We're gonna get a sunny hideaway
Down on Spanish Island
Me and the missus gonna make our play
Down on Spanish Island
