Ladytron – The Island lyrics

[Verse 1: Helen Marnie]
Farewell, farewell dreams we once knew
Farewell, farewell to you and you
People, people in lost and found
People, people, we've hit the ground

[Pre-Chorus: Helen Marnie]
Falling fast, falling harder
Falling faster in all of the chains that bind us
Symptomatic departure
Symptomatic, our heavenly future
Calling out, call protection
Calling out, calling out to the hand that blinds us
Make it count, make it out alive
Make it count, make it out this is dangerous

[Chorus 1: Helen Marnie]
Poisoned paradigm
We are savages, give them your poison lips
Broken wires, ghetto souls
Conflicted, calculated architects
Echo a new direction
Faith, lust, desire
We are sirens of, of the apocalypse
Poisoned paradigm
We are savages, give them your poison lips

[Verse 2: Helen Marnie]
Welcome, welcome your glory back
Welcome, welcome to the island
Glory, glory begin again
Glory, glory and betrayal

[Pre-Chorus: Helen Marnie]
Falling fast, falling harder
Falling faster in all of the chains that bind us
Symptomatic departure
Symptomatic, our heavenly future
Calling out, call protection
Calling out, calling out to the hand that blinds us
Make it count, make it out alive
Make it count, make it out this is dangerous

[Chorus 2: Helen Marnie]
Poisoned paradigm
We are savages, give them your poison lips
Attitudes, privilege
Without regret, a hazard lost at sea, a toxic intuition
Faith, lust, desire
We are sirens of, of the apocalypse
Poisoned paradigm
We are savages, give them your poison lips
Poisoned paradigm
We are savages, give them your poison lips
Poisoned paradigm
We are savages, we are savages
