Island Glow Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Picture this drunk as shit on a pirate ship
In some shackles in the brig with a couple cracked ribs
Thinking, “Son of a bitch, how’d I get in this sitch?
Oh yeah, rum and a witch,” how could I forget?
See, I had made a deal to never really reveal
The X marks the spot, but fuck what they thought
I am what they’re not, I’ll take the whole pot
Leave ’em all to rot and come out on top
Alright, escape plan is night
The ship creaks and sighs, I hide from the light
The keys on his side, I had to take his life
So I could take flight and end this tonight
I madе it to the sand on a moonlit night
Saw a shadow of man, so I knew I had to fight
I wait for the lull, I bracеd for the pull
Of knife against knife and skull against skull
[Chorus]
Sail off I’m high again, stuck on our island
Skeletons are all that I know
Send help, my time will end, I’ll light that torch again
Goodbye to the island glow, yo ho
[Verse 2]
Well, ahoy there, shiver me timbers and scurvy soup
I caught you swimming to shore up in my pigeon coop
So may you tell me what the hell you think you’re doing here
And may you tell me if you got some extra food to spare
‘Cause I been stranded, left here barehanded
I was feeling hungry, fuck that, I’m famished
Give me all you got, I won’t cause no damage
I know that you’re here for my gold, you’re red handed
They call me Tandy (Randy?), no, Tandy
Tandy’s getting pissed and ’bout to get handsy
About to lose my shit, a fucking chimpanzee
This island is my home and now you trespassing
Spill your guts and spit the truth out
Are you a friend or a foe? I’m a bloodhound
Your choice, you can sleep deep with Davey Jones
Or I can place your skull upon these crossbones
[Chorus]
Sail off, I’m high again, stuck on our island
Skeletons are all that I know
Send help, my time will end, I’ll light that torch again
Goodbye to the island glow, yo ho
[Verse 3]
Okay there, Tandy, right where you’re standing
That is my gold and I dug the hole
That came from my boat that I just escaped
And we can settle this with a little game of fate
Yeah, well, finders keepers, I saw it with my peepers
I dug up your gold then filled up my sneakers
I hid your jewels where there’s no place to flee
If you want your treasure back, then you gotta kill me
Well, I tried to be amicable, but you’re just an animal
And I cannot stand here while you act like a cannibal
I pulled out my pistol and I pointed it to reckon
He said, “Hey, what’s that?” So I turned for a second
Man, I can’t believe it worked, oldest trick in the book
Now there’s time to grab my gun ’cause I got him to look
I turned back around guns pointed ahead
Then we both pulled the trigger and skeletons said
[Chorus]
Sail off, I’m high again, stuck on our island
Skeletons are all that I know
Send help, my time will end, I’ll light that torch again
Goodbye to the island glow
Sail off, I’m high again, stuck on our island
Skeletons are all that I know
Send help, my time will end, I’ll light that torch again
Goodbye to the island glow, yo ho
