Twice Around the Island Songtext
von Duke Special

I don′t know where I hid the treasure,
I thought the map was in the trunk.
But too much medicine and leisure
Has led me dying, my mind has shrunk.

They said I'd never change, they said it couldn′t happen.

These bruises we carry constantly remind me
Of the past I hold inside me, the wine beneath our skin.
Give me your blessing, we'll go twice around the island
Sail a thousand miles then kiss away our sin.

Our well of words wait to be written
And you top hold the g for life.
A different ship, a different captain
Another master for my life.


I've learned a trick or two along this old dog′s tired.

These bruises we carry constantly remind me
Of the past I hold inside me, the wine beneath our skin.
Give me your blessing, we′ll go twice around the island
Sail a thousand miles then kiss away our sin.

They said I'd never change, but look, a new horizon!
These bruises we carry constantly remind me
Of the past I hold inside me, the wine beneath our skin.
Give me your blessing, we′ll go twice around the island
Sail a thousand miles then kiss away our sin.

These bruises we carry constantly remind me
Of the past I hold inside me, the wine beneath our skin.
Give me your blessing, we'll go twice around the island
Sail a thousand miles then kiss away our sin.
