Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In Babylon, on the boulevard of broken dreams
My will power at the lowest ebb, oh, what can I do?
Oh, buccaneer, can you help me put my truck in gear?
Can you take me far away from here? Save my soul from sin?
[Verse 2]
You wanna get away, you've had it man
Nothing's goin' right so come sit on the sands  of the island
Island of lost souls
No luxuries, nah, nah, amenities, too dull
Your senses o-o-only primitive, hey, hey, really get away
Is what he said
[Verse 3]
Where did he go? I'm tired of waiting here for him
Where can he be? He's not with me
Where did he go? What will I do alone?
Why did he run, run away from me?
[Verse 4]
The sky is blue, the sea is warm and clear and golden sand
Are calling out to you, inviting, make a new man out of you
Well, you can come for a while, come with a friend
Forget about work, start all over again
Let the real you through, here is what we do
[Verse 5]
Where did he go? I'm tired of waiting here for him
Where can he be? He's not with me
Where did he go? What will I do alone?
Why did he run, run away from me?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 6]
Oh, buccaneer, can you help me put my truck in gear?
Can you take me far away from here? Save my soul from sin?
No luxuries, nah, nah, amenities, too dull
Your senses o-o-only primitive, hey, hey, really get away
Island of Lost Souls
[Verse 7]
Island of Lost Souls
Island
Forget about work, start all over again
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Island of Lost Souls
Island, island, island
