Lyrics: Graham Bonnet
Music: Jimmy Waldo/Yngwie Malmsteen
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
Sail away now
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 Boulevard
In their nine by five rooms became inspired
By the silence in sight of the city
Sail away now
On an island in the sun
Cool Pacific winds blow
Sail away now
Just across the bay
Battered by the waves
Sail away now
On an island in the sun
Cool Pacific winds blow
Sail away now
Just across the bay
Battered by the waves
