This Island - Le Tigre

You must not love to hate

You must not take the bait

And learn to hit delete

You’d say the same thing to me

Rent’s high, and the war’s on

And it’s last call

Even your friends look worried

My friends think you’re smart

We think you’re super-fine

But it’s high time

I mean it’s high tide

AKA a fine line, inside

Stop smoking those cigarettes, baby

Next time it’s your turn to save me

Splash some water on your little face cause

You’re a mess, you’re a mess, you’re a mess

You must not roll your eyes

You should not often lie

How could you ever say

That your friends won’t be there

It’s a long walk, on a cold night

When you wanna fight

Over some day-old drama

You used to make us laugh

We want the old you back

Cause it’s high time

I mean it’s high tide

AKA a fine line, inside

Stop smoking those cigarettes, baby

Next time it’s your turn to save me

Splash some water on your little face cause

You’re a mess, you’re a mess, you’re a mess

You’re a mess, a mess, you’re a mess, a mess

You’re a mess, a mess, you’re a mess, a mess

This island where we live without A/C

Is the city where we learned about painting

It was the title of the mix-tape you gave me

Not where we’re from but the topic of daydreams

Let’s take a tour of the bathrooms you cried in

For break-ups, bad lucks, shock of the lost twins

The horizon’s like a ship in flames tonight

You say you just don’t know

If you can take this city, cause the

Rent’s high, and the war’s on

And it’s last call

Even your friends look worried

My friends all think you’re smart

We think you’re super-fine

But it’s high time

I mean it’s high tide

AKA a fine line, inside

Stop smoking those cigarettes, baby

Next time it’s your turn to save me

Splash some water on your little face cause

You’re a mess, you’re a mess, you’re a mess!
