A man once told us that no man is an island
But I know a man that thinks he's an island
Drifting out to the sea, sand in his ears and lies on his tongue
Jungle grows in your mind when you're an island
Welcome to the Island of Fear, the Island of Fear
Deep down inside he wants out of here, he wants out of here
Welcome to the Island of Fear, the Island of Fear
The Island of Fear, he drank too much beer,
Went home with a queer

Filthy, hungry cannibals ringed around his soul
He's tied with the hair of shrunken heads to a bamboo pole
He could drive them away with a flick of his wrist
or an ounce of self-denial
Or a good deed done without asking for it back

Welcome to the Island of Fear, the Island of Fear
Deep down inside he wants out of here, he wants out of here
Welcome to the Island of Fear, the Island of Fear
The Island of Fear, he drank too much beer,
Went home with a queer

No one visits desert islands, no one likes to waste their time
Raising temples, building bridges if the island's just a sinking ship
