Intro: |
Into the distance, a ribbon of black |
Stretched to the point of no turning back |
A flight of fancy on a windswept field |
Standing alone my senses reeled |
A fatal attraction is holding me fast, how |
Can I escape this irresistible grasp? |
Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky |
Tongue-tied and twisted just an |
Earth-bound misfit, I |
Bridge: |
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings |
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought |
Of everything |
No navigator to guide my way home |
Unladened, empty and turned to stone |
A soul in tension that's learning to fly |
Condition grounded but determined to try |
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies |
Tongue-tied and twisted just an |
Earth-bound misfit, I |
Bridge: |
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer |
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in |
The empty air |
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly |
Out of the corner of my watering eye |
A dream unthreatened by the morning light |
Could blow this soul right through |
The roof of the night |
There's no sensation to compare with this |
Suspended animation, a state of bliss |
Can't keep my mind from the circling skies |
Tongue-tied and twisted just an |
Earth-bound misfit, I |
