He came in love he came in peace
He was searching for the sun, hiding from police
He sailed into a sun-drenched town
The locals call him viking prince
Another blonde-haired clown
He's hoping that they'll never track him down
(Now he says)
Don't bother me I'm on Island Time
Don't bother my mind once again
Don't bother me I'm on Island Time
(I'm on Island Time)
Don't bother my mind once again
Under Amarillo Skies I've been hiding from my friends again
In the London smoke he did his time
Deliveries at dawn, reputations on the line
He cashed it in for a paradise
Impulse to check behind his back
For an unwelcome surprise
He's the only one who knows where the treasure lies
(Now he says)
Don't bother me I'm on Island Time
Don't bother my mind once again
Don't bother me I'm on Island Time
(I'm on Island Time)
Don't bother my mind once again
Under Amarillo Skies I've been hiding from my friends again
He's been running, hiding
He's been Island-Timing
The sticky midday heat
Hoping that they'll never find him
He's been running, hiding
White linen suits he's styling
The sticky midday heat
Hoping that they'll never find him
He's been running, hiding
He's been Island-timing
The sticky midday heat
Hoping that they'll never find him
He's been running, hiding
White linen suits he's styling
The sticky midday heat
Hoping that they'll never find him
