I nto the distanc e a ri bbon of bl ack
S tretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fanc y on a w indswept f ield
S tanding alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction is ho lding me fas t how
C an I escape this irresistible grasp?
C an't keep my eyes f rom the circ ling sky
T ongue-tied and twisted just an e arth-bound m isfit I
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
U nheeded warnings I thought I thought of eve rything
N o navigator to gu ide my way home
U nladened empty and turned to stone
A soul in tensio n that's l earning to fly
C ondition grounded but determ ined to try
Can't keep my eyes f rom the circ ling skies
T ongue-tied and twisted just an e arth-bound m isfit I
A bove the planet on a wing and a prayer
M y grubby halo a vapour trail in the empty air
A cross the clouds I see my shadow fly
O ut of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
C ould blow this soul right through the roof of the night
T here's no sensatio n to co mpare with this
Susp ended animation a s tate of bliss
Can't keep my mind f rom the circ ling skies
T ongue-tied and twisted just an e arth-bound m isfit I
