When it happens
You'll feel like an islander
You'll see ships and they'll be reminders
That you're on an island
I'm on an islandThe chances are there's a reason we've been left here
But I'm not disappointed
The chances are there's a reason we've been left
The chances are, the chances areYou can't contact, you can't contact
You can't cope without the contactAs it happens
There's a city in sight
You're getting confused by local lamplight
By local lamplight
Don't buy local lamplightsThe chances are there's a reason we've been left here
But I'm not disappointed
The chances are there's a reason we've been left here
The chances are, the chances areYou can't contact, you can't contact
You can't cope without the contactBut what a situation to be in
You and me are keeping in time with my ideas
Keeping in time with my ideas
You can't stop keeping in timeYou can't contact, you can't contact
You can't cope without the contact.
