lyrics

There's a shutter on the island of love
If we close it all our feelings disappear
It is guarded by two ravens at night
And sometimes by a Russian satellite

We sailed towards the island of love
And realized someone was there before us
The world will slowly turn into a stone now
But there are questions, still, we need to ask

Do you want a sweeter life?
We'll give you cake, you'll be just fine
Do you need more present tense?
Screw the grammar, yes you can
Change the color of your hair
You're growing old but don't you care
Oh, say the words and I'll be there

We need to take shelter
Shelter from the stars
You never know when they are gonna' fall
The island is in danger
Butterflies have strange ways
Our stomachs will never be the same

Soft rockers, daft punkers, you minimal brothers, sisters and other
Drop it and make this song go round
This island is now shaking your mind
A love like this you will never find
Stop fooling and answer me tonight

Do you want a sweeter life?
We'll give you cake, you'll be just fine
Do you need more present tense?
Screw the grammar, yes you can
Change the color of your hair
You're growing old but don't you care
Oh, say the words and I'll be there
