Lyrics

The Marvelous Dream

Hurricane spitting tornado
Growl over London today
Brought some God fire to the stay.
Demons towards Jerusalem
The spirit comes upon a mighty way
Felt some God fire in its way

I call to the dance, now the party begun
Alcohol, holiday, I'm a drug. strong
Levitating you've jumped around May queen
A time for revival or maybe just the marvelous dream.

And the moon rises higher, can call me
The end of the cycle has come again
Oh, I am helpless innate.
Awake in the matter next morning
Empty your belly, I can't take my time on earth
I am helpless, I'll ...

I call to the dance, now the party begun
Alcohol, holiday, I'm a drug... strong
Organ and moon ... spirit side go swap your bed
The lutes of your heart approve that you are not quite dead.
