Island Glow Songtext
von Dirty Heads

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 made 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
Ibraced for the pull
Of knife against knife and skull against skull

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


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

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

Okay there, Tandy right where your standing
That is my gold
I dug the hole
It 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 flee
If you want your treasure back than you gotta kill me

Well, I tried to be amical, 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

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
