Robin's Cruise Lyrics

Chainsaw Robin's Cruise

You would not recognise me now
After all those years on the island
Though my heart is hot with love
My skin turned into dry parchment

My body feels like a block of lime
A curious map of scars and creases
No one could read and make sense of me
Robin - a half-baked host of the reef

chorus:
I'm alive - a one-man island
Stranded alone on the margins of life
Whatever happens don't try to save me
I have forsaken the meaning of time

Exposed to the blazing sun of the reef
I found consolation in awkward prayers
With memory consumed by salt and heat
I could not picture a human Jesus

One day I spotted an advancing sail
But went to great lengths not to be seen
I thought the world was peopled by fools
With souls diseased with imperial greed

chorus:
I'm alive - a one-man island
Stranded alone on the margins of life
Whatever happens don't try to save me
I have forsaken the meaning of time

I'm alive, a single island
Charmed by the speechless songs of the sea
I'd rather die in my bedding of sand
The starry heavens shine only for me
