Odyssey – Black Top Island

Odyssey – Black Top Island Lyrics

Artist: Odyssey
Song: Black Top Island

Black Top Island of the west
It’s just too much for me, uh huh
And my God, I need a rest
Because it goes as far as I can

The fine old town is now a slick new city
And it’s all lookin’ to me a little bit too pretty
I can’t understand stayin’ here so long
So I sit here all alone, and try to write me a song

To make it alright
It’s quite a sight
Black Top Island of the west
Well, I took a walk just the other day

And I met a policeman along the way
Now, he took me in for no reason at all
Locked me up in this building oh so tall
He cut my hair and told me to forget it

That’s what I’m trying to do, you folks just don’t get it
I say, what are we a-coming to?
Where there’s place for you
Get out, get out while you can

That’s what I can’t understand
Black Top Island of the west
Black Top Island of the west
Black Top Island of the west

Black Top Island of the west (Oh)
Black Top Island of the west (Yeah)
I need a rest, ah
Black Top Island of the west (Got to get away)

I need a rest, ah (Yeah)
Black Top Island of the west (I got to get away)
I need a rest, ah (I got to get away)
Black Top Island of the west (Oh yeah)

I need a rest, ah (Ooh, I got to get away)
Black Top Island of the west (Yeah, I got to get away)
I need a rest, ah (I got to get away, yeah)
Black Top Island of the west
