Paradise Island Lyrics - Testing The Water - Blizzard

Thought I was in a dream then I pinched myself 

And I was there with the mic in hand 

Feeling high off the adrenaline 

In the DMT in my pineal gland 

Two years ago I wouldn't have guessed I'd be here 

But things don't work like they're planned 

In REM wide awake 

Guess I'll be fast asleep by the time I land 

Sitting on the train flustered by the sun's rays 

Now I swear I'm feeling sub-tropic 

I guess my dreams are like my old computer 

They don't have Reason or Logic 

In a split second I'm at a desk in school 

'Bout to sit my last exam 

Then I blink, now I'm in the same hall that I did it in 

Seeing if I passed it, damn

Modern Love: The Best Top 40 Love Songs For Valentine's Day 

Had a dream the other day that I was falling 

Into millions of voices talking 

Lost in a cloud of my endorphins 

I guess it must be a visual calling 

Woke up right before the impact 

Surprisingly my body's still intact 

It's weird when you newly awaken 

Your dream will still make your body feel shaken 

And it's all a product of your mind 

Experiences of so many kinds 

Take a journey round my subconscious 

You should see what you find 

Repressed thoughts released gradually 

The image can alter so rapidly 

That you lose your grip on reality 

But remember that shit happens naturally

I'm dreaming 

I'm dreaming 

Can't control my feelings 

That means that I must be sleeping 

And I don't know where this storyline's going 

But my mind is getting narrow and I feel time's slowing 

Slowing, slowing 

It's a rare occasion that I have dreams that include people I don't know 

I remember one time when I was in studio with Four Tet and Bonobo 

I was watching the way that they worked 

I remember thinking this stuff is a blessing 

Imagine that, the stuff dreams are made of 

Oh now I get the expression 

Now a moment of nothing 

I feel like I'm waking up but I didn't open my eyes 

Now I appear on my local bus 

With my old school friends, what a total surprise 

What's good, are you cool? I expect a brief little catch up 

But no-one replies 

This might be a hint that I'm gonna be in for a shock 

If I don't sever ties 

Had a dream that I was sitting at the Mercury's 

Everything panned out so perfectly 

Sitting at the same table as Elbow 

Burial saying that he wanted to work with me 

Ben Howard asking for my number 

Smoked a joint with Jake Bugg and that shit was sending me under 

Then the minute that I passed it 

I started to wake from my slumber 

Went to the bathroom, splashed my head with water 

I've gone back to my normal ways 

It's funny how about eight hours of sleep 

Can feel like fourteen days 

Flashback to camping in '04 

Radiohead on my Walkman plays 

So inspired by Kid A 

But let's get back to the present day 

I'm dreaming 

I'm dreaming 

Can't control my feelings 

That means that I must be sleeping 

And I don't know where this storyline's going 

But my mind is getting narrow and I feel time's slowing 

Slowing, slowing 

So that means that I'm dreaming 

I'm dreaming 

Can't control my feelings 

That means that I must be sleeping 

And I don't know where this storyline's going 

But my mind is getting narrow and I feel time's slowing 

Slowing, slowing
