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
