lyrics

I was an island,
of animals and cannibals,
of cantables and rantables,
of canticles and mandibles.

I was an island,
chewing and brewing,
unlaudable, unlandable,
unlaudable, unlandable.

I was an island,
full of things that that fight each other,
things that bite another, and
things that try to shudder,
and things that light the shutter,
and things that milk the udder,
and things that chew and stutter,

but mostly, I was an island,
and I didn't touch the warmth of human land.

I was an island.

humanity like the island of lost souls,
Dr. Moreau asks, what is the law?

The sayer of law replies,
not to go on all fours, that is the law,
are we not men?

The beasts cry in unison,
are we not men?
are we not men?

not to go on all fours, that is the law,
are we not men? are we not men?

I was an island.

of animals and cannibals,
of cantables and rantables,
of canticles and mandibles.

I was an island,

chewing and brewing,
unlaudable, unlandable,
unlaudable, unlandable.

Yes, I was an island.

full of things that that fight each other,
things that bite another, and
things that try to shudder,
and things that light the shutter,
and things that milk the udder,
and things that chew and stutter,

and mostly,
I was an island,
and I didn't touch the warmth of human land.

I was an island.
Won't you please take my hand.

Not to go on all fours,
that is the law.
Are we not men?

Not to go on all fours,
that is the law.
Are we not men?

The beasts cry in unison,
are we not men?
are we not men?

not to go on all fours, that is the law,
are we not men? are we not men?

The beasts cry in unison,
are we not men?
are we not men?
