Caribbean time in motion
Fireflyin' across the ocean
And I can see the future


Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean
Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean


In the modern potboiler
Anesthetize your mind

And if you won't be a lawyer
You're gonna need an alibi


And if you crave bein' an outlaw
Better to make a plan
For the guns and the promises they feed you

Will drag you in the sand

Nobody come clever enough

Before they get there, move their mainland rough
I'm takin' no direction and I walk-a real slow
For the words of oppression are go, go, go


Caribbean time in motion
Fireflyin' across the ocean

And I can see the future

Barbados to Barcelona

Caribbean time hereunder
I can see the future


Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean
Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean


If you want a dictator
You best get organized
And if you wan' be a hater

You make trains run on time

And if you crave a good pupil

Bring glory to the schools
And mind your Qs and Ps 'cause an island breeze
Is breakin' all the rules


Caribbean time in motion
Fireflyin' across the ocean

And I can see the future

Antigua to Macedonia

Darwinian time is over
I can see the future


It's no military time
It's an island time


Nobody come clever enough
Before they get there, move their mainland rough
I'm takin' no direction and I walk-a real slow

For the words of oppression are go, go, go

Caribbean time in motion

Fireflyin' across the ocean
And I can see the future


Barbados to Barcelona
Caribbean time hereunder
I can see the future


Caribbean, Caribbean
Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean

Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean
Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean
Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean


It's no military time
It's an island time
