Waiting for
the bus stop
Waiting for
the concrete black
top to settle down
Long enough for me
to get off and
get a little ground
I'm ready for
the sea change
Helpless felt this
coming from a mile away
And now you're
looking at me babe
And how we'll
separate if we can
Cause I still
count on one hand
The number of
good men I know
It's like I'm
standing on the edge
With just a
telephone wire
Trying to get
to you first to say
the world's on fire
Holding my breath
until I know
You're alright
because the water
will only rise
When will you realize
You must become
an island
You must become
an island
You must become
an island
And see for yourself
that that's what I am
You always dirty up
the windows
If you keep 'em at bay
That way no one's
gonna surprise
You by getting
too close
Anybody but me though
You've made exceptions
to you rules
And now we're
staring down
Truth neither one of us
wants to know
It's like I'm standing
on the edge
With just a
telephone wire
Trying to get
to you first
To say the world's
on fire
Holding my breath
until I know
You're alright
because the water
will only rise
When will you realize
You must become
an island
You must become
an island
You must become
an island
And see for yourself
the horizon
is all we have
And see for yourself
The horizon is
all we have
Holding my breath
until I know
You're alright
because the water
will only rise
