From the back of my neck, oh, oh, oh Wired a glass jaw, oh, oh Plantation burning your boat is coming in Strum your jew's-harp, you're reeking gin [Chorus:] Running water in a sinking boat Going under but they've got your goat Burning down - my hands are tied my feet are bound Burning down - can't you see that my hands are bound Johnny Mike is reading in the yard His story's timely, oh, oh, oh What river is it anyway, radio Not in a boat, in your ear [Chorus:] You pick your island in the sun Take your island off he's got a gun Burning down - my hands are tied my feet are bound Burning down - can't you see that my hands are bound He's cooking in the woods, a brush fire in your neck Feeling mighty mighty, oh, oh, oh You can pick your island in the sun Take your island off he's got a gun [Chorus:]
