LYRICS
Look past the dying trees, beyond waterless seas, atop the horizon, adjacent to the sun.
I give my word that it’s there - magenta mountain
What do you mean, you can’t see it?
My life must be a dream - a living fantasy
Disappeared in hot air - magenta mountain
I don’t believe you
Your eyes deceive you
Better check yourself in
The mirage is creeping outwards from your dream
Can’t you see you’ve gone insane?
I packed my bags and my swag for the road
Followed the bows of the ancient railroads
Need to rendezvous where clouds can’t misconstrue
I’m certain it is real - magenta mountain
You will say I’m crazy
I will go on my way ‘cos it’s what I need
I’d cross a thousand seas just to prove I’m not mad
Magenta mountain
Magenta mountain
It’s you again
Yeah
I thought I saw a statue blink and a bird with no head
Land on a golden thread
I rub my eyes
What am I saying?
There’s nothing there
Magenta mountain.
Magenta mountain.
It’s my sanctuary, that I wanna be chasing every chance I get.
Don’t wanna be left.
Never not making it there.
What was confusing is now seducing
Imagination is a powerful thing
I see a flash of purple stone closing in
Magenta mountain.
Magenta mountain.
It’s my sanctuary, that I wanna be chasing every chance I get.
Don’t wanna be left.
Never not making it there.
I am tectonic
I am megalithic
My spit runs mauve
I am the mountain of which you dream
I see you now behind the lens looking back at me
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo…
We fell through a dream across clouds of glue
Anamnesis crashing through
Magenta mountain
Magenta mountain
Magenta mountain
Magenta mountain
