lyrics

Julian came towards me in his goatskin cap and gown
an alchemist with rhythm and a diplomat with sound

at the place and time where earth and heaven touch
before this insubstantial pageant turns to dust
let the legends we one heard emerge from us

in the kingdom
of my mind
with the visions only I can see
just listen and you'll be with me
in the kingdom
of my mind
where clouds are dancing in the sky
and sunshine girls come floating by

the neon marching band begins to
sing with words I don't understand
their song is made of memories
and peaches falling from the trees

while crows are laughing in the attic
trailing sparks across the southern sky
mr sandman says it doesn't matter
whether what we see is all a lie

the leviathan
winks at our games
and so I try again
what should I say

is there a word
is there a sound
is there a name
is there a way
to bring this feeling out
well I don't know
but I can try
cuz god knows
I don't wanna keep it inside

of the kingdom
of my mind
why is it I'm doing this
to save myself from loneliness
in the kingdom
of my mind
where flowers sprout out of my skull
and light up like a carnival
in the kingdom
of my mind
you don't have to say goodbye
because this place exists outside of time
