G
Into the distance, a ribbon of black;
Em                                       D G
Stretched to the point of no turning back
    G
a flight of fancy on a windswept field;
 Em                          D G
Standing alone my senses reel

   G
a fatal attraction is holding me fast;
    Em                                  D G
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Chorus:
C                            Am
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies;
 F
Tongue-tied and twisted,
        C            D      G
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 find my way home
Unladen, empty and turned to stone

   C                      Am
a soul in tension that's learning to fly;
F                         C
Condition grounded but determined to try

Chorus

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

There’s no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, a state of bliss

Chorus
