Tony Sciuto

Island nights theme / Island nights

Night tucked in your pocket

Neon in your soul

Tattooed leather gypsy

You know what your future holds

Soda and bad whiskey

Burned out saxophone, gently moans

Die on 42nd

Let Broadway sell you for a song

CHORUS

Island nights

You're blinded by the lights

Can't shake those island nights

Hold on tight

Don't try to break the ice

Or you could lose your life

Those island nights

Nothing grows in Harlem

Nothing ever will

Music keeps you dancing

Now you are dressed up to kill

Came up from the country

Lonely runaway, got to pay

Selling it for small change

Just keeps you running anyway

CHORUS

The sirens scream

Shatters skyline dreams

On the back street

This 9 to 5

Jungles just too jive

You sold your soul

The day you bought the lie

CHORUS
