Desert Island Lyrics
I'll be the madness that carries you away
I'll be the sadness to light your darkest day
I'll be the desert island where you can be free
I'll be the vulture you can catch and eat
Desert island
Love is all around
Desert island
Where you can laugh aloud
Desert island
Everywhere's a beach
Your desert island
Is what I wanna be
We'll develop muscles
From cracking coconuts
Let our clothing drop off
Feel each other's butts
Start a better country
Where we can get things done
Make a fortune turning
Sand to silicon
Desert island
Love is all around
Desert island
Where you can laugh aloud
Desert island
Everywhere's a beach
Your desert island
Is where I wanna be
While we're still holding on
Counting days until we're gone
Can we spend some time alone
In our free love zone
Desert island...
I'll be the sadness to light your darkest day
I'll be the desert island where you can be free
I'll be the vulture you can catch and eat
Love is all around
Desert island
Where you can laugh aloud
Desert island
Everywhere's a beach
Your desert island
Is what I wanna be
From cracking coconuts
Let our clothing drop off
Feel each other's butts
Start a better country
Where we can get things done
Make a fortune turning
Sand to silicon
Love is all around
Desert island
Where you can laugh aloud
Desert island
Everywhere's a beach
Your desert island
Is where I wanna be
Counting days until we're gone
Can we spend some time alone
In our free love zone

"We'll develop muscles From cracking coconuts Let our clothing drop off Feel each other's butts" Wow, there is NO denial that Stephin Merritt's gay here
Stephin Merritt is openly gay... the company that publishes Merritt records is called Gay and Loud. He's never been quiet about it, but it's also not the focus of his writing. He writes characters of all persuasions.
