[04:32.85][00:18.44]
[00:24.11]Into the distance, a ribbon of black
[00:29.66]Stretched to the point of no turning back
[00:40.84]Standing alone my senses reeled
[00:47.08]A fatal attraction holding me fast,
[00:52.22]How can I escape this irresistible grasp?
[00:58.79]Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
[01:04.11]Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I
[01:12.00]
[01:21.93]Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
[01:27.71]Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
[01:33.45]No navigator to guide my way home
[01:39.26]Unladened, empty and turned to stone
[01:44.87]A soul in tension that's learning to fly
[01:50.89]Condition grounded but determined to try
[01:56.71]Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
[02:02.13]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...
[03:06.42]Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
[03:12.13]My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
[03:17.95]Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
[03:23.58]Out of the corner of my watering eye
[03:29.41]A dream unthreatened by the morning light
[03:35.19]Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
[03:41.06]There's no sensation to compare with this
[03:46.02]Suspended animation, A state of bliss
[03:52.40]Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
[03:57.80]Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
