[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

[03:01.08]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
