So you got the message today
The one that said that I’m walking away
Well you are a coward and you are a liar
And once upon a time you set my heart on fire

So I called up the fire brigade
And I got 'em to put out the love that we made
And then I called the policeman
And I got him to hold you back while away I ran

Well I will not be fooled by the pull of flesh, no
I will not be fooled by your innocence again
I will not be fooled by your sweet caress
I will not be fooled cause

You’re not my island. You’re not my home
And just like all the others you just sink into the sea oh
You’re not my island and you’re not my home. So go

I was the one on the side of the sidewalk
I was the one on the side of the stage
Yeah I was the one to walk around in a daze
But you were the one to blame

And I will not be fooled by the pull of flesh, no
I will not be fooled by your innocence again
I will not be fooled by your sweet caress
I will not be fooled cause

You’re not my island. You’re not my home
And just like all the others you just sink into the sea oh
You’re not my island and you’re not my home
So go. Just go

Cause when I tried to climb upon your shore
The ground was shakin’ and you closed the door
So I was left in the sea to drown
On a great sailing ship by myself going down, down, down

You’re not my island. You’re not my home
And just like all the others you just sink into the sea oh
You’re not my island and you’re not my home
So go. Just go

You’re not my island. You’re not my home
You’re not my island. You’re not my home
And even though I thought you were you're not
So go. Just go
