[00:24.611]Into the distance a ribbon of black
[00:27.851]Stretched to the point of no turning back
[00:33.31]A flight of fancy on a windswept field
[00:39.31]Standing alone my senses reeled
[00:44.391]A fatal attraction holding me fast how
[00:50.821]Can I escape this irresistible grasp
[00:55.251]Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
[01:01.651]Tongue tied and twisted Just an earth bound misfit I
[01:08.701]Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
[01:24.491]Unheeded warnings I thought I thought of everything
[01:30.291]No navigator to guide my way home
[01:35.531]Unladened empty and turned to stone
[01:41.341]A soul in tension that's learning to fly
[01:46.781]Condition grounded but determined to try
[01:52.201]Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
[01:57.561]Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit I

[02:43.631]tower):3-8-Echo
[02:44.441]Easy on the brakes Take it easy Its gonna roll this time
[03:17.391]Just hand the power gradually and it
[03:17.581]Above the planet on a wing and a prayer
[03:20.761]My grubby halo a vapour trail in the empty air
[03:23.751]Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
[03:26.381]Out of the corner of my watering eye
[03:29.561]A dream unthreatened by the morning light
[03:31.371]Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
[03:35.51]There's no sensation to compare with this
[03:39.731]Suspended animation A state of bliss
[03:45.841]Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
[03:50.461]Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit I
