He might talk about \u201cemerald trolls\u201d in the same song, but the verdict is out on that (and I can&#8217;t be bothered to check the lyric sheet, if there is one). Anyway, that&#8217;s all unfortunate (so is the main dude behind Ghost Lights being called a \u201cvisionary\u201d in the promotional material that came with this) because anyone who talks about smoking weed in the woods makes my blood pressure spike a bit, but what&#8217;s more fortunate is the cool &#8217;70s-rock-lite sounds of tunes like \u201cA Train Is Coming,\u201d which should probably be called \u201cA Suggestion of a Toy Train with a Feather on It Is Coming,\u201d but, still, you know.
