[Verses]
When I asked for money
You would give me alcohol
Wasn't being funny
When I said no ifs at all

I'm thinking
Thoughts too late
No linking
I won't wait

When I wanted coffee
You insist on alcohol
When I said no maybes
You would give me ifs that’s all

[Interlude]
(You'll find it on a landscape)
(You'll find it on an island)
(You'll find it on a landscape)
(You'll find it on an island)

[Verses]
A message wrapped in paper
Each passage wrapped in paper
Wrapped in paper made for us
Wrapped in paper made for us
Some meaning sent to someone
Each read it, passed it on
Passed it on to one of us
Passed it on to one of us

[Interlude]
(You'll find it on a landscape)
(You'll find it on an island)
(You'll find it on a landscape)
(You'll find it on an island)

[Verses]
Crumpled on the mattress
Best you cover up
Hardly is a bad day
When you don’t get up

He made it, wrapped in sackcloth
Afraid of it, have to back off
Backed up into one of us
Backed up into one of us

Ten seconds, you can’t see it
Old record, laugh my way out
Way out and up we go
Out and away and up we go
[Bridge]
A message wrapped in paper

Crumpled on the mattress
Best you cover up
Hardly is a bad day
When you don’t get up

Throw it on the mattress
(You'll find it on a landscape)
Best you cover up
(You'll find it on an island)
Hardly is a bad day
(You'll find it on a landscape)
When you don’t return
(You'll find it on an island)
