Here I'm stuck on an island
And I couldn't care less
If you can't get on with each other
This is a mess
Well, there're holes in the buildings
And you hide behind walls
Just tell me how many days now until this city falls
Isabelle, oh, Isabelle
Do pray, do pray, do tell
Here the oceans aren't here
And we've got food for our thoughts but not much to spare
So tell me a story (I'll tell you a story)
Spell it out, I can't hear (What do you want to hear?)
Why you wear black in the mornings?
Why there's smoke in the air? (Oh)
Isabelle
Oh oh, Isabelle
Isabelle
Oh oh, Isabelle
Oh
All those tears on your cheeks
Just like deja vu flow now
When your grandmother speaks
So tell me a story (I'll tell you a story)
Spell it out, I can't hear (What do you want to hear?)
Why you wear black in the morning?
Why there's smoke in the air? (oh)
Isabelle, Isabelle
Do pray, do pray, do tell
Isabelle (Oh, Isabelle)
Do pray, do pray, do tell
