into the distance a ribbon of black
stretched to the point of no turning back
a flight of fancy on a windswept field
standing alone my senses reel
a fatal attraction is holding me fast
how can i escape this irresistible grasp
cant keep my eyes from the circling sky
tonguetied and twisted
just an earthbound misfit i
ice is forming on the tips of my wings
unheeded warnings i thought i thought of everything
no navigator to find my way home
unladen empty and turned to stone
pre
a soul in tension thats learning to fly
condition grounded but determined to try
cant keep my eyes from the circling skies
tonguetied and twisted
just an earthbound misfit i
above the planet on a wing and a prayer
my grubby halo a vapor 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
pre
theres no sensation to compare with this
suspended animation a state of bliss
cant keep my mind from the circling skies
tonguetied and twisted
just an earthbound misfit i
