The most rockin' track on the album finds this composer in a cold and lonely place.
lyrics
ARCTIC ISLAND
By
Blaine Campbell
Disappointment, numb frown
All my love’s been dumbed down
Lost a feeling in my heart today
I was stuck on passion
Now I live on rations
And everything has turned a shade of gray
Following the stars made me crazy
Falling in love in bars with Jill and Daisy
But time’s catching up, it’s getting old
And the things we used to do we do no more.
Desperation, sad face
Don’t be coming ‘round my place
With every little problem you create
In my head I feel dumb
Like I don’t get no one
Arctic island take me to the sun
Following the stars made me crazy
Falling in love in bars with Jill and Daisy
But time’s catching up, it’s getting old
And the things we used to do we do no more.
Following the stars made me crazy
Falling in love in bars with Jill and Daisy
But time’s catching up, it’s getting old
And the things we used to do we do no more.
