King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
Magenta Mountain (Live at Bonnaroo ’22)
[Spoken: Ambrose Kenny-Smith, Joey Walker]
You still with us? Yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about. Alright, let's fuckin' do it. Hold up

[Verse 1: Stu Mackenzie & Joey Walker, Stu Mackenzie]
Woo!
Look past the dying trees, beyond waterless seas
Atop the horizon
Adjacent to the sun
I give my word that it's there, Magenta Mountain
What do you mean, you can't see it?
My life must be a dream, a living fantasy
Disappeared in hot air, Magenta Mountain

[Bridge 1: Joey Walker & Stu Mackenzie, Joey Walker]
I don't believe you
Your eyes deceive you
Better check yourself in
The mirage is creeping outwards from the dream
Can't you see I've gone insane?

[Verse 2: Stu Mackenzie & Joey Walker, Stu Mackenzie, Joey Walker & Ambrose Kenny-Smith]
Woo!
I packed my bags and my swags for the road
Followed the bows of the ancient railroads
You need to rendezvous where clouds can't misconstrue
I'm certain it's real, Magenta Mountain
You will say that I'm crazy
But I will go on my way 'cause it's what I need
I'd cross a thousand seas just to prove I'm not mad
Magenta Mountain
Magenta Mountain

[Bridge 2: Joey Walker & Stu Mackenzie, Joey Walker, Ambrose Kenny-Smith]
It's you again
Yeah!
I thought I saw a statue blink and a bird with no head
Land on a golden thread
I rub my eyes
What am I saying?
There's nothing there

[Chorus: Joey Walker & Ambrose Kenny-Smith]
Magenta mountain
Magenta mountain
It's my sanctuary I wanna be chasing every chance I get
I don't wanna be left
Never not making it there

[Verse 3: Stu Mackenzie & Joey Walker]
What was confusing is now seducing
Imagination is a powerful thing
I see a flash of purple slow envelop me
[Chorus: Ambrose Kenny-Smith]
Magenta mountain
Magenta mountain
It's my sanctuary that I wanna be chasing every chance I get
Don't wanna be left
Never not making it there

[Verse 4: Stu Mackenzie & Joey Walker, Stu Mackenzie, Joey Walker & Ambrose Kenny-Smith, Stu Mackenzie]
I am tectonic
I am megalithic
My spirit runs mauve
I am the mountain of which you dream
I see you now behind the lens looking back at me

We fell through a dream across clouds of glue
Anamnesis crashing through

Magenta mountain
Magenta mountain
Magenta mountain
Magenta mountain
Ay!
