I just woke up from a dream
I was in a place I'd never been and never seen
So I packed up my horse
Everything seemed sweet
Found the closest speakeasy and ordered us a drink
Fuck, 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 tintinabulation
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 ith 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 is 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 brakes too close
Every whisper of 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 graft and grappeling
The pull by this horse
I can feel it in my loins
The crippling moonwashed cycle
The lapping rip, the rising flood
The flip of the coin
It's another turning point

Phantom island, insane asylum
Phantom island, insane asylum
I'm the toad, the cat, the dog
The layman, one true god

Let your bygones be bygones
Bow down to see the time fall
The long lagoon of rhythmic grooves
Bound and stampede running through the

Phantom island, insane asylum
Phantom island, insane asylum
Phantom island, insane asylum
Chanting sirens ringing clear

The palm trees, heads are banging
Stuck inside of mental seas
God, it's me, the sharp cliff hanging
We must retreat back to sea
