Into the distance, ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
fatal attraction holding me fast, how
Can I escape 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 tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings,
I thought of everything
No navigator to guide my way home
Unladened, empty 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

Above the planet on a wing
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
