words and melody by Marc Tweed

lyrics

The Sultan of Sultan's Fever Dream

Once on the train, the strangers' brains dissolve
Upon the lonely chance of a bitter romance
Meanwhile all sense is torn

So devoid of all feeling, the Sultan is sleeping
Cramped in his small quarters, with fever he's dreaming
"This is not the way to arrive at a festival"

So sweat it is beading, the shoreline's receding
While rainbows dive off the springboard of meaning
And knowledge is dancing
And honor lies gasping
The Sultan drips fear on the floor

While conductors hit the drink and have a think
A blind coyote fills the night with fallacy
He sleeps upon the midnight train
He dreams about his missing brain

Red streamers strain under the weight of the thunder
Gilded, immobile, a beast filled with trouble
The Sultan is groaning, drips fear on the floor

Two lovers appearing, they're kissing and licking
The Sultan is screaming, the point he is missing
"This is not the way to arrive at a festival"

Our Sultan of Sultan dreams fairies attacking
The couple that's fucking on the floor of his quarters
The lady, she's cumming, the Sultan is fading
The Sultan drips fear on the floor

Our Sultan of Sultan dreams fairies attacking
The couple that's fucking on the floor of his quarters
The gentleman caller, in passion does holler
"THIS IS THE WAY TO ARRIVE AT A FESTIVAL"
