When it happens
You'll feel like an islander
You'll see ships and they'll be reminders
I'm on an island
That you're on an island

But I'm not disappointed
The chances are there's a reason we've been left

The chances are there's a reason we've been left here
The chances are, the chances are
You can't contact, you can't contact
You can't cope without the contact

As it happens
There's a city in sight
You're getting confused by local lamplight
By local lamplight
Don't buy local lamplights
The chances are there's a reason we've been left here
But I'm not disappointed

The chances are there's a reason we've been left here
The chances are, the chances are

You can't contact, you can't contact
You can't cope without the contact

Keeping in time with my ideas
You and me are keeping in time with my ideas
But what a situation to be in

You can't stop keeping in time
You can't contact, you can't contact
You can't cope without the contact
