[Verse 1]
Islands in the sea
Are so much like me
They don't ever change
No emotion, no emotion

[Verse 2]
Islands on the land
Dry like desert sand
Islands in the city
All alone; it's such a pity

[Chorus]
It's a masquerade
Just painted faces
When will it change?

[Verse 3]
Islands in the seas
What's come over me?
We are both surrounded
By the water, empty water

[Verse 4]
Give me mystery
And the fear it brings
Anything at all to
Break up the monotony
[Chorus]
It's a masquerade
Just painted faces
When will it change?
Never!

[Verse 1]
Islands in the sea
Are so much like me
They don't ever change
No emotion, no emotion

[Verse 2]
Islands on the land
Dry like desert sand
Islands in the city
All alone; it's such a pity

[Outro]
Islands in the sea
(Islands in the sea)
Islands in the sea
Islands in the sea
(Islands in the sea)
Islands in the sea
Forever!
Islands in the sea
Forever!
Islands in the sea
Islands in the sea
Forever!
Islands in the sea
Islands in the sea
Forever!
Islands in the sea
Forever!
Oh, Islands in the sea
What's come over me?
Forever!
Islands in the sea
What's come over me?
Forever!
