lyrics

WE ARE SAILING TO THE ISLAND OF LIGHT

Hey all you

Lovely clowns, you lonely people, naked survivalists, chance opportunists, heroic failures, electric pilgrims, beauty addicts, dream novelists, psychedelic flaneurs, drunken throwbacks to futurist times

We are sailing to the island of light, and we're are sailing to the island of light, and we're are sailing to the island of light

Sailing, sailing, sailing

Say goodbye to

The shallow hearts, the hollow likes, I have dreamed of this moment for so long now, when I escape the short-term dopamine driven feedback loops destroying my trustingly stupid open mind works

We are sailing to the island of light, and we're are sailing to the island of light, and we're are sailing to the island of light

Sailing, sailing, sailing

And now that we know who we are, we must call stick together out there, come on you blessed outsider told timers, hoist that tattered queer flag now

Hey all you

Glam merchants, bible sceptics, mystery evolutionists, anti fascists, fugitive romantics and cosmopolitan scum, those of you being ready to depart of be deported in all your noisy incandescent pagan glory now

We are sailing to the island of light, and we're are sailing to the island of light, and we're are sailing to the island of light

Sailing, sailing, sailing
