ALCATRAZZ LYRICS

1. Island In The Sun

They named it the rock, land of
the living dead
A repose for the rich and famous
All the infamous would tell each other's
lies
Why did they want to tell the truth

[Chorus 1:]
On an island in the sun
Cool Pacific winds blow

Most were poets and they wrote in
basic prose
On the walls of their sunset blvd.
In their nine by five rooms, became
inspired
By the silence in sight of the city

[Chorus 2:]
On an island in the sun
Cool Pacific winds blow
Just across the bay
Battered by the waves

[Solo]

[Chorus 2]

Key change
Two Sailawena's

[Chorus 2]

2. General Hospital

I awoke in a room that was occupied by
those about to die
For my sleep was disturbed by the sound
of old mens cries for help
What's this place what the hell am I
doing here
What's happened to me and I'm
wondering what kind of state my
mind and body's in

[Bridge:]
Be calm please lay back
We will help you rest for a while

[Chorus:]
And I yelled "No you don't I'm not
going to sleep"
I'm just gonna get my body out of here
I pushed the bottle down away from my face
But felt the needle stab like a spear

As my legs started shaking
The room revolved around my aching head
And the floors rushing up just to greet me
Laying there on my back as the ceiling flies away and from me
Was I finally losing my hold on reality

[Bridge:]
Be calm take this pill
We will help you rest for a while

[Chorus]
