Desert Island Lyrics - The Magnetic Fields

I'll be the madness that carries you away 

I'll be the sadness to light your darkest day 

I'll be the desert island where you can be free 

I'll be the vulture you can catch and eat 

Desert island, love is all around 

Desert island, where you can laugh aloud 

Desert island, everywhere's a beach 

Desert island, that's what I wanna be 

We'll develop muscles from cracking coconuts 

Let our clothing drop off, feel each other's butts 

Start a better country where we can get things done 

Make a fortune turning sand to silicon 

Desert island, love is all around 

Desert island, where you can laugh aloud 

Desert island, everywhere's a beach 

Desert island, that's what I wanna be 

While we're still holding on 

Counting days until we're gone 

Can we spend some time alone 

In our free love zone? 

Desert island, love is all around 

Desert island, where you can laugh aloud 

Desert island, everywhere's a beach 

Desert island, that's what I wanna be 

Desert island, desert island 

Desert island, desert island
