Empires rise and fall
Nations pass away with time
Cities crumble but a decent planet's hard to find
And if that isn't so
You tell me
I'll pack my things and go

The Easter Islanders
Cut down every living tree
And carved great images
So their gods could be appeased
Oh what fools they were
You might say
So different from today

Island In The Sky
Light years from another breath of air
Island In The Sky
We take all that you give
And carry on as if we had a spare

(solo)

We're spinnin' 'round and 'round
On our planet of the blues
Maybe that explains
Why our thinking's so confused
And if that isn't so
You tell Me
I just want to know

Island In The Sky
The only source of water that we know
Island In The Sky
If we let it slip away
Where on earth are we supposed to go?
