I just woke up from a dream
I was in a place I'd never been or never seen
So I packed up my horse, everything seemed sweet
Found the closest speakeasy and ordered a stiff drink
F*ck, I never thought I'd lose my mind
I suppose sanity is easy to lose and hard to find
Hey, and can you hear that tintinnabulation?
Are all the bats in the belfry again?
A land-borne illusion breaks the ocean surface
Is this mental confusion or have I finally found my purpose?
Coconut congas playing in time with the waltz of a tortoise
A symphony of delusion as my thoughts finally realize their purpose
I hope this place is here in the morning
Or I'll be floating back to the land with the water bloated corpses
Their palm trees looking at me funny with a sideways belligerence
A symphony of delusion as my thoughts realize their ignorance
Paranoia's on the growth
Is that laughter or a crow?
Every rustle in the trees, a potential snare
Close my eyes and block my ears
Cut the cord and let me hear
Phantom (phantom)
Island (island)
Phantom (phantom)
Island (island) (woo)
Am I chasing shadows?
Reality superimposed
There are footprints in the sand
Hear the crackle of dry leaves
Every wave that breaks too close
Every whisper on the breeze
Every shape inside a cloud
Every star that's out of place
Everything that I believe
Throw it all into the sea and be free
Sixteen horses galloping
Twelve long years of grabbing
Grappling the bull by its horns
I can feel it in my loins
The crippling moon watch cycle
The lappin' rip, the risin' flood
The flip of the coin
It's another turning point
Phantom island, insane asylum
Phantom island, insane asylum
I'm the doe, the cat, the dog
The layman like our one true god
Let your bygones be bygones
Bow down to Set and Typhon
The long lagoon of rhythmic grooves
Bound and stampede running through the
Phantom island, insane asylum
Phantom island, insane asylum
Phantom island, insane asylum
Chantin' sirens ringing clear
The palm trees' heads are bangin'
Stuck inside, a mental seize
God, it's me, the sharp cliff hanging
We must retreat back to sea
