one thing you've got to know
one thing about the island place
where people never go
too many city games to play
nobody knows about
where i go when i'm in a bind
where i can work things out
the desert island in my mind
and there's no streets on the desert island
and there's no tears for the city men
i climb the trees on the desert island
you'll find me sitting in my castle made of sand
one place i'll never go
down in the cave beyond the light
there's danger from below
and things you only see at night
and there's no streets on the desert island
and there's no tears for the city men
i climb the trees on the desert island
you'll find me sitting in my castle made of sand
