Lyrics Violent Femmes

Violent Femmes

This Island Life

This tea's too strong for me as I await your company

I had too much sun today

Ocean waters wash away

Nothing but the present presenting its presence

This island life

Separate my right from my wrong

No, I am not pagan but my heart has been forsaken

And the hand of God was on my mind

It took some time from time to time

Now in the course I know time itself will go

This island life

Separates my right from my wrong

You forgot your shoes and I, I have sent a message but I

So many stars in the sky

It's the truths that will not lie

There's a young wild native maiden running mad and barefoot to the sea

Until this island life

Separates my rights from my wrongs

This island life

Finally separates my rights from my wrong

This tea's too strong for me as I await more company

I had too much sun today

Dream of lands lying far away

Pregnant with the present presenting its presents

This island life

Separate my right from my wrong

This island life

Separate my rights from my song

Separate my right from my wrong

Separate my right from my wrong

Separate my right from my wrong

(Separate my right from my wrong)
