So tired of living in this exile
I once chose
Sheltered by a levy
I have built with my own hands
So tired of waiting for the flood
to take me in
Or a ship to pick me up
and carry me to solitude
From all I need and all see
There's not a lot left in between
It's a choice to either do or die
A choice you've got to make,
won't you please
Catch that ship right on time
Wherever it may say
Catch the ship right on time
Your choice will tip the scale
Catch the ship right on time
Don't be left behind
So tired of walking
And someone else's shoes
Of being hooked on dreams of ache
That were not meant for me
So tired of paying
Someone else's dues
Of seeking the warmth of the sun
That I will never see
An d all I know, and all I've seen
There's not a word left in between
The choice to rebirth or die
A choice you've got to make,
won't you please?
Catch that ship, right on time
Wherever it may sail
Catch that ship, right on time
Your choice will tip the scale
Catch me you can
Rile and turn
Don't be left behind
We're islanders, both you and me
Trapped on an island, on our own
To share a form of loneliness
That company won't ease
The sea around that has no end
Taught us there's no solid land
For islanders like you
For islanders like me
From all I know and all I've seen,
there's not a world meant in between
It's a choice to live, live to or die,
a choice you've got to make,
won't you please
Catch the chip right on time,
wherever it may say
Can't shake it, right on time
Your choice will tip the scale
Can't shake it, right on time
Don't be left behind
You
