lyrics

The ship went down
to lay on the ground
at the bottom of the sea.
I wound up on a deserted island
When the ancient lights
held their dances in the sky
well, they nearly got me thinking
that I could stay,
but I had to get out right away

At last my shoes
dropped back in the grooves
of the city's slippery stairs
I stepped out on a deserted eyeland
When the mirrors on the moon
shine down onto my lagoon
they make me think a lot about a rental car
filled with half a tank of gas
or what it would take to get me past
all the welcome signs they planted on the edge of town.
Man, I must surely be the luckiest guy around
spending all this time above the ground.

And the part that's right before the end
goes over and over again
"We all live on a deserted eyeland"

And the part that's right before the end
Goes over and over again
"We all live on a deserted eyeland."

On a deserted eyeland.
