Hiding in my womb, safe within my womb
I touched your wonders and no one touches me.
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am Iraq, I am an onion
I am a rock, I am an island
I am Iraq, I am in Ireland.
I am a rock, I am an island.
I am Iraq, I am in Thailand.
I am a rock, I am an island.
I am a mop, I am an orange.
I am a rock, I am an island.
I am a rock, I am an entrepeneur.
I am a rock, I am an island.
I am a rock, I am an iron man
I am a rock, I am an island.
I am a rock, I am an item
I am a rock, I am an island.
I am a rock, I am an old man
I am a rock, I am an island.
I am a rock, I am an onion.
I am a rock, I am an island.
I am a rock, I am an otter
I am a rock, I am an island
I am a rock, I am in Thailand.
I am a rock, I am an island.
I am a rott, I am rottweiler.
I am a rock, I am an island.
I am a wok, frying an onion.
I am a rock, I am an island.
I am still dead in my armor.
I am shielded in my armor.
I ham Iraq, I have an eye, man!
I am a rock, I am an island!
I have a rock, I have an island.
I am a rock, I am an island.
I have my books,
and my poultry to protect me
I have my books,
and my poetry to protect me
I have my books,
and I grow a tree to protect me
I have my books
and my poetry to protect me
I have my buckles, and poetry to protect me.
I have my books, and my poetry to protect me
I have my looks
and my poetry to protect me
I have my books
and my poetry to protect me
I have no need of bloodshed
Bloodshed causes pain.
I have no need of friendship
Friendship causes pain.
I'm in Iraq, I am in Thailand
I am a rock, I am an Island
I've been walls
I've built walls
I've been waltzed
A fort that's deep and mighty.
I've built walls
A fortress deep and mighty.
I've been warned.
I've built walls.
In a Diefendorf December
In a deep and dark December
With my pod tree to protect me
With my poetry to protect me
Editor's note: "With my I-pod tree" would clearly be an anachronism since this song clearly predates the Ipod by several decades.
And my palm tree to protect me
And my poetry to protect me
I am Sheol, dead in my arbor
I am shielded in my armor
I am a Rob, I am a Robert
I am a rock, I am an island.
I have no need of Frenchies, French just causes pain
It's laughter and it's nothing I can stain..
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
It's laughter and it's nothing I disdain
or
Its laughter and its nothing I disdain
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
