Song | Event Horizon |
Artist | Peter Hammill |
Album | Singularity |
Flat on my back, I can feel myself falling | |
into a singular state of mind; | |
as if through a fog, I can hear someone calling. | |
I know I'm cutting it fine, | |
thinking that maybe it's time to cross the line. | |
The last thing I need's any outside assistance; | |
whatever I do will be what has been done | |
and if force is applied, let it be from a distance. | |
Right now I'm biding my time; | |
hold on, I'm biting my tongue, | |
hoping I'm timing my run across the line. | |
It's all gone so quiet and scary, | |
I can feel the bloodrush in my ears. | |
If only I could keep my head, | |
if only I could keep my head from spinning, | |
if only I could keep my head | |
I'd cross the line. | |
Is that the finish in sight or a mist that's descending? | |
The geometry's blurred at the edge of the scene. | |
At the vanishing point there'll be no perfect ending, | |
no final dotting of "i"s, no chance of crossing the "t"s – | |
at last, unpicked at the seams, I'll cross the line. |
Flat on my back, I can feel myself falling | |
into a singular state of mind | |
as if through a fog, I can hear someone calling. | |
I know I' m cutting it fine, | |
thinking that maybe it' s time to cross the line. | |
The last thing I need' s any outside assistance | |
whatever I do will be what has been done | |
and if force is applied, let it be from a distance. | |
Right now I' m biding my time | |
hold on, I' m biting my tongue, | |
hoping I' m timing my run across the line. | |
It' s all gone so quiet and scary, | |
I can feel the bloodrush in my ears. | |
If only I could keep my head, | |
if only I could keep my head from spinning, | |
if only I could keep my head | |
I' d cross the line. | |
Is that the finish in sight or a mist that' s descending? | |
The geometry' s blurred at the edge of the scene. | |
At the vanishing point there' ll be no perfect ending, | |
no final dotting of " i" s, no chance of crossing the " t" s | |
at last, unpicked at the seams, I' ll cross the line. |
