[Intro] [Male voice] Sun burn down and the bass crawl low Tour bus coughing where the black winds blow Mi just want shade where the bad dogs sleep One small bite and a silence deep [Male voice] [Verse 1] Mi wake up tired with the salt in mi beard Same old pier and the same old gear Net full of holes and a motor gone dead Heat like a stone sitting hard on mi head [Male voice] Then come the tourists with the bright loud skin Laughing like trouble with the rum kicked in Mi got work to do, mi got bills to mind But they block up the dock with the sweet perfume kind [Male voice] They say island man, come give us a grin Mi say move from mi tools, let the work begin One put a drink by mi rusted chain Now the screw gone missing and mi blood feel plain [Male voice] [Pre-Chorus] No peace in the heat No rest in the land One wrench in mi teeth One curse in mi hand [girl voice] Come on, bad man, just one drink tonight. [Male voice] [Chorus] Leave me lonely Let me rest mi head One little sleep on a hard wood bed Leave me lonely Let the night wind bite One small meal and no noise tonight [Male voice] Leave me lonely No touch, no chase No sweet rum breath in mi tired face Leave me lonely Everybody please Mi just want sleep And a bite to eat [Male voice] [Verse 2] Mi try wash clean by the pipe out back Soap in mi palm and the sky turn black Before mi rinse off the dust and the sea Two of them smiling come reaching for me [Male voice] One say ooh, you smell like smoke and rain One try touch mi chest like she know mi name Mi step away and mi grumble low But the whole mad crowd just refuse to go [Male voice] So mi keep some stink like a warning sign Sweat and diesel on mi shirt by design Better smell rough than get trapped again By sun-drunk ladies calling me friend [Male voice] Still they come when the low drums knock Barefoot swarming by the jerk-shop block Mi just want rice with the pepper and steam They want mi laugh like mi living their dream [Male voice] [Pre-Chorus] No peace in the heat No rest in the sand One plate in mi reach One storm in mi hand [girl voice] You look so lonely, let me stay by your side. [Male voice] [Chorus] Leave me lonely Let me rest mi head One little sleep on a hard wood bed Leave me lonely Let the night wind bite One small meal and no noise tonight [Male voice] Leave me lonely No touch, no chase No sweet rum breath in mi tired face Leave me lonely Everybody please Mi just want sleep And a bite to eat [Male voice] [Bridge] Night come heavy and mi crawl to the shore Find one dark place by the broken oar Fold mi shirt like a stone for mi head Say thank you Lord, let mi feel half dead [Male voice] Then thunder feet and a volleyball scream Female team crashing through mi bad dream Ball hit hard and the sand fly high Somebody fall and cover up mi sky [Male voice] [Breakdown] Boom boom, knee in mi shoulder Boom boom, elbow roll over Boom boom, hair in mi face Mi grunt like a beast in a cursed-up place [Male voice] Boom boom, sorry, they giggle Boom boom, mi patience cripple Boom boom, mi blood run black Mi drag mi bones to the shadows back [Male voice] [Final Chorus] Leave me lonely Let me rest mi head One little sleep on a hard wood bed Leave me lonely Let the night wind bite One small meal and no noise tonight [girl voice] Oh there he is [girl voice] Omg, lets talk to him [girl voice] iiihhh [Male voice] Leave me lonely No touch, no chase No sweet rum breath in mi tired face Leave me lonely Everybody please Mi just want sleep And a bite to eat [Male voice] [Outro] Sun go dead and the bass still crawl Mi hide where the palm shade cover all If you see mi there by the coconut tree Bring food, bring quiet Then leave me be
