Into the distance, a ribbon of black 
stretched to the point of no turning back 
flight of fancy on a wind swept field 
Standing alone my senses reeled 
fatal attraction is holding me fast 
How can I escape this irresistible grasp? 

Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky 
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 
Unladen, empty and turned to stone 

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 and a prayer 
My [bad word] halo, a vapour trail in the empty air 
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly 
out of the corner of my watering eye 
I dream unthreatened 
by the morning light 
could blow this soul right through the roof of the night 

There's no sensation [bad word] 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
