Caribbean Time Lyrics - Home Sweet Mobile Home - Nellie Mckay

Caribbean time in motion 

Fireflyin' across the ocean 

And I can see the future 

Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean 

Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean 

In the modern potboiler 

Anesthetize your mind 

And if you won't be a lawyer 

You're gonna need an alibi 

And if you crave bein' an outlaw 

Better to make a plan 

For the guns and the promises they feed you 

Will drag you in the sand

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Nobody come clever enough 

Before they get there, move their mainland rough 

I'm takin' no direction and I walk-a real slow 

For the words of oppression are go, go, go 

Caribbean time in motion 

Fireflyin' across the ocean 

And I can see the future 

Barbados to Barcelona 

Caribbean time hereunder 

I can see the future 

Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean 

Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean 

If you want a dictator 

You best get organized 

And if you wan' be a hater 

You make trains run on time 

Photos 

And if you crave a good pupil 

Bring glory to the schools 

And mind your Qs and Ps 'cause an island breeze 

Is breakin' all the rules 

Caribbean time in motion 

Fireflyin' across the ocean 

And I can see the future 

Antigua to Macedonia 

Darwinian time is over 

I can see the future 

It's no military time 

It's an island time 

Nobody come clever enough 

Before they get there, move their mainland rough 

I'm takin' no direction and I walk-a real slow 

For the words of oppression are go, go, go 

Caribbean time in motion 

Fireflyin' across the ocean 

And I can see the future 

Barbados to Barcelona 

Caribbean time hereunder 

I can see the future 

Caribbean, Caribbean 

Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean 

Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean 

Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean 

Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean 

It's no military time 

It's an island time
