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 holding me fast how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue tied and twisted Just an earth bound misfit I
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

Easy on the brakes Take it easy Its gonna roll this time
Just hand the power gradually and it
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 eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit I
