Took a walk
Down on mainstream
Had a little talk
With some serious citizens

Took a stroll aboard
The Phantom Ship that’s never been
That a million lies
Keep a-floating on the River Dream

And the boat
That steadily rots in stain
Keeps streaming down in vain
Just the same

It had a load
Of many riddling things
Took some time know
They were only pictures on a screen

Finally got hold
Of the Mighty Golden Mind Plow
That allows us to behold
The many-colored beast that howls

What a scene
It howls and growls in vain
Its powers have been tamed
Just the same

So look around
For a minute
The world is round
And you’re in it

Your life was dead
You got stranded
You’d lost your way
Now you’ve found it

So play the tune
Stop a-dreaming
Get off the swoon
Star a-living

Your grayish stuff
Your conclusions
Are nothing but
A Megallusion

While the boat
That steadily rots in stain
Keeps streaming down in vain
Just the same
