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
