[Intro – spoken, distorted whisper] Yeah… my little island, third eye open wide, crystal skies above me, let’s ride. [Verse 1 – rap-funk flow] In my little island, pressure on the tide, Middle eye’s blazing, nowhere left to hide. Day slips away, shadows creep my way, Lying in the dark just waiting for the break. [Pre-Chorus – shouted, with backing vox] High, high — drifting off the wire! Rise, rise — set my soul on fire! [Chorus] Down, down, into the silence, Round, round, heavy and mindless. Dreaming in technicolor, break these ties, Drown, drown, in crystal skies! [Verse 2 – funk-groove with scratch sample] Nightlight flickers, heartbeat syncs, Spirits in the static, talking through the links. I prayed to the sun, but the moon replied, “Keep walking on the edge till the morning arrives.” [Scat Solo – 12 lines, funky chaos] Bada-ba-ram! taka-taka pow! Shimmy-sha-clack — who’s the prophet now? Scooby-doo wah! zip-zap crack! Groovebeast bounce, and we never step back! Wubba-la-da! scratch it on the deck! Middle eye spin, put the mind in check! Taka-taka boom! shakalaka flame! Trip in the beat, never sound the same! Rada-tat clap! echo to the sky! Voices of the island never gonna die! Scooby-bidi-bop! zip-bang fly! Crystal skies burnin’, open up the eye! [Guitar Solo] 🎸🔥 [Breakdown – whisper + distorted bass] Let the day away… Whatever came my way… I lie in bed and pray… The sun will rise again. [Chorus – first time, with call/response] Down, down, (DOWN, DOWN!) into the silence, Round, round, (ROUND, ROUND!) heavy and mindless. Dreaming in technicolor, break these ties, (BREAK IT!) Drown, drown, (DROWN, DROWN!) in crystal skies! [Chorus – second time, bigger gang vocals] Down, down, (DOWN, DOWN!) into the silence, Round, round, (ROUND, ROUND!) heavy and mindless. Dreaming in technicolor, break these ties, (YEAH, BREAK IT!) Drown, drown, (DROWN, DROWN!) in crystal skies! [Outro – half-sung, half-laughed] My little island… my middle eye… (ha-ha-ha) Crystal skies… yeah, we never die.
