The Castle in the Air

Lyrics

[Spoken: Leah Senior] The river opened her mouth and spat into a vast sea larger and bluer than a cloudless sky. Muscular, prodigious, immortal. But our vessel was invulnerable. It was well built, the boat rocked me into sleep and I floated through a deep dream, smooth sailing through the castle in the air... [Verse 1] One-eyed people living peaceful With monopods and astomi Without malice or guile Without covetousness [Refrain] Ohh, ahh [Verse 2] And there's men whose heads do Grow beneath their shoulders Maybe we'll find the world's center Where equinox casts no shadows Spread our teaching Alleviate their damnation [Refrain] Ohh, ahh Ohh, ahh [Bridge] Without us they'll go to hell We are casting spells [Instrumental] [Verse 3] Could it be faithful? It couldn't seem more real As I opened my eyes The dream de-colorised Until it was obscured And the harsh reality hit me like salty water
