West Indies on the wall,
Watchin caterpillar crawl.
And I've got no one to call..
Come and meet me.
Birds sing alien songs,
I'm wishin I could sing along.
And I'm feelin like king kong,
Unpatiently.
I'd like to spend my days with you,
I haven't got much else to do.
You could heal my heart this evening,
I'm running out of books to read
I've seen you in some magazine,
Dressed up like a Creole queen.
Pickin mangos from a tree,
Make it look easy.
And you know I can't stand still,
Cause you hooked me by the gills.
I'm in the treehouse on hill,
Come and see me.
Barefeet on the floor
I hear the break of lazy humming waves.
Night pursues the falling sun.
I try to quiet the noise around.
No calendar, so don't remind me
How I dread the falling sun
Cats perched up on the wall
Watchin all the lizzies crawl
Warm air and the rain falls
It falls for hours
And you know I can't sit still
Cause you hooked me by the gills
I'll just have to dream until St. Lucia.
