Nellie McKay – Caribbean Time Lyrics
Artist: Nellie McKay
Song: Caribbean Time
Caribbean time in motion
Fireflyin’ across the ocean
And I can see the future
Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean
Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean
In the modern potboiler
Anesthetize your mind
And if you won’t be a lawyer
You’re gonna need an alibi
And if you crave bein’ an outlaw
Better to make a plan
For the guns and the promises they feed you
Will drag you in the sand
Nobody come clever enough
Before they get there, move their mainland rough
I’m takin’ no direction and I walk-a real slow
For the words of oppression are go, go, go
Caribbean time in motion
Fireflyin’ across the ocean
And I can see the future
Barbados to Barcelona
Caribbean time hereunder
I can see the future
Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean
Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean
If you want a dictator
You best get organized
And if you wan’ be a hater
You make trains run on time
And if you crave a good pupil
Bring glory to the schools
And mind your Qs and Ps ’cause an island breeze
Is breakin’ all the rules
Caribbean time in motion
Fireflyin’ across the ocean
And I can see the future
Antigua to Macedonia
Darwinian time is over
I can see the future
It’s no military time
It’s an island time
Nobody come clever enough
Before they get there, move their mainland rough
I’m takin’ no direction and I walk-a real slow
For the words of oppression are go, go, go
Caribbean time in motion
Fireflyin’ across the ocean
And I can see the future
Barbados to Barcelona
Caribbean time hereunder
I can see the future
Caribbean, Caribbean
Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean
Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean
Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean
Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean
It’s no military time
It’s an island time
