I woke up sweating in the middle of the night,
Chasing a vision that was blindingly bright.
I saw the neon pink across a purple sky,
And felt the island wind come rushing by.
The digital clock is ticking on the wall,
But I can still hear the distant ocean call.
(Pre-Chorus)
The bass is driving hard inside my chest,
This memory won't let me get no rest.
I close my eyes to slide back through the seam,
To find my way into that hidden scene!
(Chorus)
Locked inside a forbidden dream! (Oh-oh-oh!)
Nothing is ever quite what it seems!
Take me back to the shoreline, back to the sun,
Where the retro rhythm has only just begun!
Forbidden dream! (Oh-oh-oh!)
Lost in a vintage paradise tonight!
(Verse 2)
Yo! Wake up, wake up, check the clock on the wall,
But the rhythm of the island is a permanent call.
Lush synth pads with a heavy dance groove,
Got the whole crowd waiting for the spirit to move.
Nylon strings playing retro style,
Gotta keep the dream going for another mile.
One, two, three, let the drum machine run,
We’re dancing in the shadows till we see the sun! Let’s go!
(Pre-Chorus)
The bass is driving hard inside my chest,
This memory won't let me get no rest.
I close my eyes to slide back through the seam,
To find my way into that hidden scene!
(Chorus)
Locked inside a forbidden dream! (Oh-oh-oh!)
Nothing is ever quite what it seems!
Take me back to the shoreline, back to the sun,
Where the retro rhythm has only just begun!
Forbidden dream! (Oh-oh-oh!)
Lost in a vintage paradise tonight!
(Bridge)
Into the dream, into the night! Hold onto the feeling till the morning light!
Don't let me wake up yet...
Bring the beat back! Three, two, one, drop!
(Chorus)
Locked inside a forbidden dream! (Oh-oh-oh!)
Nothing is ever quite what it seems!
Take me back to the shoreline, back to the sun,
Where the retro rhythm has only just begun!
Forbidden dream! (Oh-oh-oh!)
Lost in a vintage paradise tonight!
(Outro)
Yeah... just a forbidden dream.
Don't wake me up...
