Lyrics:

I'm stuck on an island, I couldn't care less
If you can't get on with each other, but this is a mess
There's holes in the buildings, and they hide behind walls
Tell me how many days now before this city falls

Chorus:
Isabelle, oh Isabelle
Do pray, do pray, do tell

Here, the oceans are near
And we've got food for our thoughts, but not much to spare
So tell me a story, spell it out, make it clear
Why you wear black in the morning, why there's smoke in the air

(Chorus)

Oh those tears on your cheeks
Just like déjà-vu flow now when grandmother speaks
So tell me a story, spell it out, I can't hear
Why you wear black in the morning, why there's smoke in the air

(Chorus)

Isabelle, well, she comes from Zagreb
Count the hours 'til dawn and bring out your dead

(Chorus)
