[Intro]
\nNot getting off topic
\n(It’s tropic… all)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nI headed North
\nBut it felt South
\nHear my mouth
\n(Too much warmth)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nCheck the total
\nNot getting off topic
\n(It’s tropic… all)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nNo room on my island
\n(For man nor beast)
\nTime for man to understand
\n(At the very least)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nThe Great White North
\nIs lookin’ quite black
\nSmoldering warmth
\n(Wildfires attack)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nCheck the total
\nNot getting off topic
\n(It’s tropic… all)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nNo room on my island
\n(For man nor beast)
\nTime for man to understand
\n(At the very least)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nCheck the total
\n(Sum of the feast)
\nCan we still
\n(Pay the bill)
\nAnd to be nice
\n(Add a bucket of ice)
\nNot getting off topic
\n(It’s tropic… all)
\nHere in The Fall
\nTropical<\/p>\n
