They named it the rock, land of the living dead
A repose for the rich and famous
All the infamous would tell each other's
lies
Why did they want to tell the truth
[Chorus]
On an island in the sun
Cool Pacific winds blow
Most were poets
and they wrote in basic prose
On the walls of their sunset blvd.
In their nine by five rooms, became inspired
By the silence in
sight of the city
[Full chorus]
On an island in the sun
Cool Pacific winds blow
Just across the bay
Battered by the
waves
[Solo]
[Full chorus] - Key change
Two Sailawena's
[Full chorus]
