all day the city's selling something
+
always, the busy people spinning 'round
+
'til they go back home to somewhere
+
and taxies stop to say "hello"
+
"want a ride? I'll take you there"
+
"to anywhere, just tell my driver"
+
the sun is casting shadows
+
I ask, but no one knows
+
the answer to the question
+
my life is like an island
+
where does this ocean go?
+
shyly, a wino sips his wine
+
slowly, cause to him that is all that matters
+
he sees a cat he knows so well
+
now sleeping on a bench together
+
a woman waiting by herself, selling flowers
+
"please buy some, so I can help my daughter, will you?"
+
the man with spider eyebrows
+
is standing on a corner
+
"who wants to see a show?"
+
his head looks like a melon
+
then stops to blow his nose
+
sky is filled with neon
+
the buildings stand electric
+
and almost seem to glow
+
want answers to the question
+
my life is like an island
+
where does the ocean go?
+
my life is like an island
+
it's time for me now to fly
+
where does the ocean go?
+
