Sweet Delirium - City Of Ships

Followed a dark tunnel all the way to its end

Found a 40 watt bulb dangling

Swinging from the ceiling

Flickering like some miniature fireworks display

Knew the show wasn’t for me but watched anyway

And I heard

The heartbeats of everyone

Who’d been there before

The pounding of ancient drums

Coming up through the floor

Wondered if my imagination was acting up again

Maybe I’d fallen victim to sweet delirium

Probably heard one too many stories

Told by a swindler selling charisma all day long

We never heard from that thief again

They say he headed out west

I’d say Texas if i had to guess
