lyrics

There's a keen boy
He's a Finn shy
Leaving on a rock on a messy Island
Illugagata
Kingdom of the straw
The puffins rulled the volcano
But they were fake
Come rain or snow
The Finns made all those birds in Illugaga

Street of Desire
Plump puffins empire
Capturing their final breath
Fascination for death
Glittering wings for gloomy people
Exotic beeks you're such an asshole
If you miss the accessory which wil assure you
The Vestmannaey's glory

Lonely but passionate
His fate was clear it was to be a puffin's percher ( a what?)
Against all odds
Obssessive flood down there in Illugagata
The business was running fast
Was going good thanks to the bastards who spend their wages
Buying all kinds of masks
And other creepy shit from Illugagata

Street of Desire
Plump puffins empire
Capturing their final breath
Fascination for death
Glittering wings for gloomy people
Exotic beeks you're such an asshole
If you miss the accessory which wil assure you
The Vestmannaey's glory

One day our Finn got bored
Of all that illusory reign that he made real
He grabbed his full puffin outfit
And went onto the roofs of Illugagata
He jumped into the void vivid
And ran away from cliff to cliff
Direction : the ocean
Not without some grief
For all the good times back in Illugagata

Street of Desire
Plump puffins empire
Capturing their final breath
Fascination for death
Glittering wings for gloomy people
Exotic beeks you're such an asshole
If you miss the accessory which wil assure you
The Vestmannaey's glory
