Into the distance, a rivet of black Stretched to the point of no turning back I fly to fancy on a windswept field Standing alone, my senses reel A fatal attraction is holding me fast How can I escape this irresistible grasp? Gotta keep my eyes from the swirling sky Tongue-tied and twisted, just enough I'm just getting high Ice is forming on the tips of my wings Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything No navigator to guide my way home Heart latent, empty, but time's a stone This old intention is learning to fly Condition grounded, but determined to try Gotta keep my eyes from the swirling sky Tongue-tied and twisted, just enough I'm just getting high I'm just getting high Above the planet, on a winged thread High above the hill, a paper trail in the empty air Above the clouds, I see a shadow fly Out of the corner of my watery eye It's a treasured dream unfettered by the morning light Curved lowly, soaking through the roof of the night There's no sensation to command with this Suspended ambition, a distinct old bliss Gotta keep my eyes from the swirling sky Tongue-tied and twisted, just enough I'm just getting high I'm just getting high I'm just getting high *
