Alone On Penguin Island
On my raft
Keep you here on my raft
Caste from Hawaii
Hawaii
It's not a question of explanation
Rather more the need to expand
You must realise to balance the equation
The removal is already there
No sermon will alter my feelings
And the movement, I guide my craft
We believe in the meaning
Keep you here
No questions, no answer(s), no game
I delight in watching you struggle
To be lost is not allowed
(And I'm sure you knew)
(Now) in this city you're not the only traveler
[instrumental]
No device too slow
That cannot conceal
Restrain or impulse
Irritation adjoining
Opposed in compression
Aligned and in series
Caught and contained
The meshed and unmoving
Slow too device
Concealed cannot
Impulse or restrain
Adjoining
Compression
Series are
Contained and controlled
Unmoving unmoving unmoving
The weight is thrown
On your shoulders

I am the gymnast, I want to swing on your door
I am the gymnast, I want to hear you shout for more
I am the gymanst, I want to be a millionaire
I am the gymnast

The crowd was waiting
No more talking
The chilling boys?
The warning from the four girls?
This information
Will be crossed and decoded?
The city's not sleeping?
The worst is not spoken
So much more
To be taken
So much more
Than was there
The back frozen rivers?
Moving out of the snowdrift
An honest intention
The healing words
In several languages
He will sleep forever
Don't show your emotion
In front of the crowd
They fly information
Hear these things I say
It's hard to explain
I know what I should act?
Watch out below
'Cause I'm a woman?
(Watch/Look out for the line)
Seems terrible?
To explain in words
Those things that I've said
Man the lifeboats
Phone ringing and I'm in the house
Phone ringing but they've all gone out
Phone ringing who can it be?
Phone ringing but never for me
Phone ringing and I feel so ordinary
Phone ringing and I feel so
Phone ringing and ringing
Phone ringing and I'm all alone
Phone ringing oh come on home
Phone ringing it won't go away
Phone ringing again and again
Phone ringing and I'm in the house
Phone ringing but they've all gone out
Phone ringing it won't go away
Phone ringing again and again
Phone ring

You must never go out
If there's a chance of falling
You must never go out
If there's a chance at all
You must stay in bed and count your toes
Hide your head under the bedclothes
Hush away and hope the world
Will notice you
You must never go out
There seems to be some kind of commotion
Crossing the lakes and crossing the ocean
But it never bothered me
There's nowhere that I want to be
It's never bothered me
By air or by sea
They never bothered me
There's nowhere that I want to be
They never bothered me
At all
By air or by sea
By air
By sea
Carry a torch to the fire's edge
Collect your halo of ashes and wood
Pay your disgrace to be found so far
Pathenon
Gaining in reverence
No close other source
Only the perfect can remain
