Here’s the lyrics for Illus Ocean’s track “Redneck Vampires on LSD” from his forthcoming debut. If this doesn’t whet your appetite I don’t know what could.
Redneck Vampires on LSD
I been lost in Atlantis
I been caught in Kathmandu
I’ve been drunk and stoned at Stonehenge
hell I’ve been the king of Xanadu
well I’ve been all around this world
I’ve been inside out and through
but I ain’t never met no one
that keeps the like of you
There’s no easy way out
no hope that I can see
I’m stuck with redneck vampires tripping on LSD
I sold the shroud of turin to the queen of Aztlan
I swam out to Skull Island
just to smoke weed with King Kong
reptillian politicians, that steal my mortal soul,
they took me from my horus and they threw me in a hole
well iv’e been out to sirius with some sordid company
but now I’m stuck inside with rednecks trippin on lsd
I was once abducted by the Templar Knights in Spain
I was forced to marry Ishtar out in Loki’s burnin rain
well everyday I wake up I think i’ve seen it all
from pixies, fairies, Gilgamesh and a dog that’s 10 feet tall
so help me understand this plan and show me a guiding light
give me just one hour to rally one last fight.
cause if I make it out alive I’ll go down in history
as the one who killed those red neck vampires trippin on LSD.
