Lyrics:

I'm running away to the island
Going to make me a bed in the sun
I can't seem to stop all the madness
Now I'm fighting like everyone
And give me a break in the concrete
Just you watched me slippin' through
And tear me a hole in these cold gray city skies
Get me a better view

Oh, that life sure makes you poor
Ooh
Oh, I've lost so much before

I'm running away to the island
Yes, I've put in plenty time here
Gimme the feel of a long day
Slowly pullin' me out of gear
Oh, making me your fine companion
Lady with all the smiles
Layin' us down in the hot sand
Happiness, I could forget the miles

Pull your arms around me now
Ooh
Greens and blues surround me now
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


Ooh, that life sure makes you poor
Ooh
Ooh, I've lost so much before
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm running away to the island
I'm running away to the island
Oh, running away to the island
Oh, making me your sweet companion
I'm running away to the island
Oh yeah, yeah
I'm running away to the island
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm running away to the island
