I was picked up and then dropped off in a culture counter-clockwise turned around Dug a hole in Southern Carolina, took me straight to China safe and sound Donated my map to the lost and found While working for a common cause I only got a kamikaze state of mind This self defeating meeting of the minds is eating what was once so hard to find But right then the clouds parted in the sky The horizon took us all a little by surprise By surprise, watch the sky And as the howling winds subdsided, the locals ran out, all waving their hands and singing: Welcome to the island of the honest man Do what you want - there is no need to impress us Welcome to the island of the honest man We don't believe in what the big people tell us Wait here - stay here I was picked up and then dropped off in a culture counter-clockwise turned around Rolled a pair of dice in Paris that got me to paradise all safe and sound. Stole my temper back from the lost and found No longer needed to be seated on a sinking ship just waiting there to drown There to drown - jump off now And as they lead us to their village, a thousand voices all started to sing out loud: Welcome to the island of the honest man Do what you want - there is no need to impress us Welcome to the island of the honest man We don't believe in what the big people tell us Wait here - stay here From the sunrise up above to the sunset below, they all sing Welcome in, welcome back, well come on let's go And all the people on the island they already know why they sing Welcome in, welcome back, well come on let's go From the sunrise up above to the sunset below, they all sing Welcome in, welcome back, well come on let's go And all the people on the island they all want to show why they sing, why they sing, why they sing, why they're singing Welcome to the island of the honest man Do what you want - there is no need to impress us Welcome to the island of the honest man We don't believe in what the big people tell us Welcome to the island of the honest man This is the island of the honest man Welcome to the island of the honest man This is the island of the honest man Wait here - stay here
