[00:32.11] |
Into the distance, a ribbon of black |
[00:37.66] |
Stretched to the point of no turning back |
[00:43.35] |
A flight of fancy on a windswept field |
[00:48.86] |
Standing alone my senses reeled |
[00:54.54] |
A fatal attraction holding me fast, how |
[00:59.38] |
Can I escape this irresistible grasp? |
[01:05.84] |
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies |
[01:11.02] |
Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I |
[01:28.46] |
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings |
[01:33.95] |
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything |
[01:39.59] |
No navigator to guide my way home |
[01:45.18] |
Unladened, empty and turned to stone |
[01:50.78] |
A soul in tension that's learning to fly |
[01:56.37] |
Condition grounded but determined to try |
[02:02.00] |
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies |
[02:07.25] |
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I |
[02:14.55] |

Easy on the brakes. Take it easy. Its gonna roll this time. |
[03:05.33] |
Just hand the power gradually, and it... |
[03:09.57] |
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer, |
[03:15.22] |
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air, |
[03:20.85] |
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly |
[03:26.41] |
Out of the corner of my watering eye |
[03:32.11] |
A dream unthreatened by the morning light |
[03:37.60] |
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night |
[03:43.35] |
There's no sensation to compare with this |
[03:48.78] |
Suspended animation, A state of bliss |
[03:54.47] |
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies |
[03:59.77] |
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I |
