Spike Island

[Verse 1]
Something stopped me dead in my tracks
I was headed for disaster and then I turned back
I was wrestling with a coat hanger, can you guess who won?
The universe shrugged, shrugged, then moved on

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a guess, no idea
It's a feeling
Not a voice in my head
Just a feeling

[Chorus]
And by the way, Spike Island come alive
And by the way, this time I'll get it right, oh

[Verse 2]
Not a shaman or a showman ashamed that I was selling the rights
I took a breather and decided not to ruin my life
I was conforming to a cosmic design, I was playing to type
Until I walked back to the Garden of Earthly Delights

[Pre-Chorus]
I was born to perform
It's a calling
I exist to do this
Shouting and pointing

[Chorus]
And by the way, Spike Island come alive
And by the way, oh, it's time I'll get it right, oh

[Bridge]
No one will ever understand it
And no one will ever have the last word
Because it's not something you could ever say
So swivel

[Pre-Chorus]
Ah, it's a guess, no idea
It's a feeling
Not a voice in my head
Just a feeling

[Chorus]
And by the way, oh, Spike Island come alive
And by the way, it's time I'll get it right, oh
And by the way, ah, Spike Island come alive
And by the way, huh, it's time I'll get it right, oh

[Outro]
Ah-ah
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh...
Ah-ah-ah
