Monkey Island

Hold on real tight
It's gonna be all right
Don't get lost from sight
There's too long a night
To get lost again

Stay on the track
Remember you came back
Don't fall behind
Don't be that blind
You gotta see again

Only few return
So only few will learn
About the wreckage along the way

To see that face again
Who would've believed it then
They had it all
How far they fall
Oh the misery

It's hard to be
Clear in memory
Without being free
Of the agony
Just look at me
Look at me

Only few return
Only few will learn
About the wreckage along the way
About the wreckage along the way
About the wreckage along the way
About the wreckage, I've seen, along the way

No one could explain it
What went on that night
How every living thing
Just dropped out of sight
We watched them take the bodies
And row them back to shore
Nothing like that ever
Happened here before.

On the east side of the island
Not too far from the shore
There stood the old house
Of fifty years or more
All the dorrs and windows
Were locked inside and out
The fate of those trapped in there
Would never be found out.

There ain't no life on Monkey Island
No one cares and no one knows
The moon hangs out on Monkey Island
The night has dealt the final blow.

The fish jumped from the water
And started walking home
The birds all started screaming
And dove into the foam
The night came out of nowhere
And then a quiet rain
Footsteps in the darkness
Down a half forgotten road.

There ain't no life on Monkey Island
No one cares and no one knows
The moon hangs out on Monkey Island
The night has dealt the final blow.

There ain't no life on Monkey Island
The night has dealt the final blow.

There ain't no life on Monkey Island
No one cares and no one knows
The moon hangs out on Monkey Island
The night has dealt the final blow.

There ain't no life on Monkey Island
No one cares and no one knows
The moon hangs out on Monkey Island
The night has dealt the final blow.
