Night tucked in your pocket
Neon in your soul
Tattooed leather gypsy
You know what your future holds
Soda and bad whisky
Burned out saxophone gently moans
Die on forty-second
Let Broadway sell you for a song
Island nights
You're blinded by the lights
Can't shake those island nights
Hold on tight
Don't try to break the ice
Or you could lose your life
Those island nights
Nothing grows in Harlem
Nothing ever will
Disco keeps you dancing
Now you are dressed up to kill
Came up from the country
Star struck runaway got to pay
Selling it for small change
Just keeps you running away
Island nights
You're blinded by the lights
Can't shake those island nights
Hold on tight
Don't try to break the ice
Or you could lose your life
Those island nights
The sirens scream
Shatters skyline dreams
On the back street
This nine to five
Jungles just too jive
You sold your soul
The day you bought the lie
Island nights
You're blinded by the lights
Can't shake those island nights
Hold on tight
Don't try to break the ice
Or you could lose your life
Those island nights.
