When it happens
You'll feel like an islander
You'll see ships and they'll be reminders
That you're on an island
I'm on an island

The chances are there's a reason we've been left here
But I'm not disappointed
The chances are there's a reason we've been left
The chances are, the chances are

You can't contact, you can't contact
You can't cope without the contact

As it happens
There's a city in sight
You're getting confused by local lamplight
By local lamplight
Don't buy local lamplights

The chances are there's a reason we've been left here
But I'm not disappointed
The chances are there's a reason we've been left here
The chances are, the chances are

You can't contact, you can't contact
You can't cope without the contact

But what a situation to be in
You and me are keeping in time with my ideas
Keeping in time with my ideas
You can't stop keeping in time

You can't contact, you can't contact
You can't cope without the contact
