The Castle In the Air
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
One-eyed people living peaceful
With monopods and astomi
Without malice or guile
Without covetousness
Oh, ah
And there's men whose heads do
Grow beneath their shoulders
Maybe we'll find the world's center
Where equinox does not shatter
Spread our teaching
Alleviate their damnation
Oh, ah
Oh, ah
Without us they'll go to hell
We are casting spells
Could it be
Faithful?
Could it seem
More real?
As I opened my eyes
The dream decolorized
Until it was un-skewered
And the harsh reality hit me like salty water
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
One-eyed people living peaceful
With monopods and astomi
Without malice or guile
Without covetousness
Oh, ah
And there's men whose heads do
Grow beneath their shoulders
Maybe we'll find the world's center
Where equinox does not shatter
Spread our teaching
Alleviate their damnation
Oh, ah
Oh, ah
Without us they'll go to hell
We are casting spells
Could it be
Faithful?
Could it seem
More real?
As I opened my eyes
The dream decolorized
Until it was un-skewered
And the harsh reality hit me like salty water
