King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard > Songs > The Castle in the Air > Lyrics


  • Written By: Mackenzie/Walker
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

And there's men
Whose heads do grow
Beneath their shoulders
Maybe we'll find
The world's center
Where equinox
Casts no shadow
Spread our teaching
Alleviate their damnation

Without us they'll go to hell
We are casting spells

Could it be faithful?
Couldn't seem more real
As I opened my eyes
The dream decolourized
'Till it was obscured
And the harsh reality
Hit me like salty water
