Something stopped me
Dead in my tracks
I was heading 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

It's a guess
No idea
It's a feeling
Not a voice
In my head
Just a feeling

And by the way
Spike Island
Come alive
And by the way
This time I'll get it right
Oh

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

I was born
To perform
It's a calling
I exist
To do this
Shouting and pointing

And by the way
Spike Island
Come alive
And by the way
This time I'll get it right
Oh

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

It's a guess
No idea
It's a feeling
Not a voice
In my head
Just a feeling

And by the way
Spike Island
Come alive
And by the way
This time I'll get it right
Oh

And by the way
Spike Island
Come alive
And by the way
This time I'll get it right
Oh

First listen on this, and I know a song is good when it tears my attention away to get the name/artist! Very much digging this one.
I've got a lot of time for Jarvis...
Is RP contractually obligated not to post the lyrics ahead of its release?  Or just forgetting to populate metadata?  The lyrics are already available on Genius.com and other places.
