Island Lyrics - Singles - The Burning Of Rome

Lets give the monkey something to swing on 

That boys been hanging around for days 

Im not the kind of man to lean on 

That monkey best not swing my way 

But more than this 

For just one kiss 

Ill kill these men in your name 

And sail away 

Well build an island 

Well build an island 

Well build an island in your sea of tears 

And call it home for a hundred years 

An island in your fleeting fears 

Dont call this home, dont call this home 

Lets give the bastards a lesson in love 

After all thats the Roman way 

Ill find a last word they can lean on 

And get the monkey off of me 

But more than this 

With just one fist 

Ill raise a coup in your name 

And sail away 

Well build an island 

Well build an island 

Well build an island 

Well build an island 

Well build an island in your sea of tears 

And call it home for a hundred years 

An island in your fleeting fears 

Dont call this home, dont call this home 

Well build this island 

(REPEAT)
