Welcome to My Island
Caroline Polachek

Welcome to my island
See the palm trees wave in the wind
Welcome to my island
Hope you like me, you ain't leaving

Welcome to my island
See the palm trees wave in the wind
Welcome to my island
Hope you like me, you ain't leaving

Desire, I wanna turn into you
Desire, I wanna turn into you
Float on the ocean blue
Float on the ocean blue

Welcome to my island
See the palm trees wave in the wind
Welcome to my island
Hope you like me, you ain't leaving

Desire, I wanna turn into you
Desire, I wanna turn into you
Float on the ocean blue
Float on the ocean blue

I am my father's daughter in the end
He says, "Watch your ego, watch your head, girl
You're so smart, so talented
But now the water's turning red
And it's all your fault, and it's all your mess
And you're all alone, can't go to bed
Too high on your adrenaline
You gotta go somewhere where you can't pretend
Go forget the rules, forget your friends
Just you and your reflection
'Cause nothing's gonna be the same again
No, nothing's gonna be the same again"

Desire

Float on the ocean blue
Float on the ocean blue

This trippy song has been intriguing me every time they play it on WERS. It really feels like it has at least one story in it, maybe more.

Hmm, a Circe allusion maybe? Love it either way!

I was definitely thinking of Circe and other island owning enchantresses yeah :)
