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. 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. 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. |
Jungles where the tigers sleep The neon glares And talk is cheap Stairways that lead to dreams You turn around A siren screams Energy glows in the heart of the city You stand in the shadows or reach for the sky This time the promise is not just illusion I'm heading for glory, I'm learning to fly Out there you feel the heat It's face to face, I cross the street Help me I've done a fare I need a ride So take me there Everything's moving out of the city They murder with kisses and then wonder why Everyone's looking out over their shoulder We've all gotta jump so I'm learning to fly I see a figure there, look back at me I stand and stare Searching for sanity To break the force of gravity Learning to fly ect x 5 |
Well I started out down a dirty road Started out all alone And the sun went down, as I crossed the hill And the town lit up, the world got still I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings Coming down is the hardest thing Well the good ol' days, may not return And the rocks might melt & the sea may burn I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings Coming down is the hardest thing Well some say life will beat you down, break your heart, steal your crown So I've started out, for God knows where I guess I'll know when I get there I'm learning to fly, around the clouds, But what goes up must come down I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings Coming down is the hardest thing |
