Speed through the night, my gritty eyes
So fever bright, scars on my hand
A gravel stone, I took a bite

I kiss the road of Rarotonga
Taste some gravel
I kiss the road of Rarotonga

My barefoot nurse whisper sorry
When it hurts black sea slug sand
A velvet sky and the roosters cry
Bird flapped its wing
Man I rode like a king

I kiss the road of Rarotonga
Taste some gravel
I kiss the road of Rarotonga

Stand up and flow, push it on, push it on
Stand up and flow, push it on push it on
Island girl I'll stay with you

I give thanks to Rarotonga
I kiss the road of Rarotonga
