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 reeled
  A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
  Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
  Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
  Tongue-tied and twisted 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 guide my way home
  Unladened, empty and turned to stone
  A soul in tension that's learning to fly
  Condition grounded but determined to try
  Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
  Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
  Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
  My grubby halo, a vapour 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
  Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
  Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
