• the hallucinator and the king of the silver ship of time

The Hallucinator lives upon the island,

All alone, all alone

Because if she didn't live there no-one else would

All alone

She knows that she's the one to go before us

Making each and every border porous

With an eider quill retrace our annals

Ungating all the snares, hard-panning channels

All alone, all alone

The vacuum drags here down to the ocean

To the bottom of the sea

But still she lands so softly she is laughing

Laughing at the bottom of the sea

By there sailed a silver ship of time

Ship of time, ship of time

With cannons fanning out at every angle

Port and starboard, fore and aft

An old and gilded clock was seen to dangle

From the topmost lofty mast

The Hallucinator, she just looked and laughed

The King of Time, he's pulled her from the ocean

Stood here there to drip and dry

And he's led her by the hand back to her island

Still alone as you or I

He said 'I've sailed the seven seas to find you

Seven seas and twenty-three

I've sailed a sickening sea of golden coins

To be near you, to be free

I can only tell you what I know:

The dagger of the west will never linger long

In the scabbard of the east

That gazelle will bolt and run like hell

From any entombed Eden

I've been to the north and I've been to the south

I've sailed the world around

I know the poles are doomed to shift

I know that one day soon they'll flip

And when they do I'll reboard ship

And go back the way I came

And if you've time you'll mould a child of wax

Maybe chisel a child of stone

So you'll never be alone

And I'll give you my silver cloak of time

Woven of the hours fine

And if you've sense you'll hang it in a high place

Touch the hem from time to time

Time to time
