Meanwhile back in the year one When you believed in no one You didn't stand a chance son If your parents were undone Cause you were bred for humanity And sold to society One day you'll wake up to the present day A million generations removed from expectations Of being who you really want to be Skating away skating away Skating away on the thin ice of a new day And as you push off from the shore Won't you turn your head once more And make your peace with everyone And those who chose to stay Will live just one more day To do the things they should have done And as you cross the wilderness Suspending in your emptiness
And you feel you have to pray Searching for a sign that the universal mind Has written you into the pa**ion play Skating away skating away Skating away on the thin ice of a new day And as you cross the circle line Well the oswald breathes behind You're a rabbit on the run And sliver splinters fly in the Corner of your eye Shining in the setting sun Do you ever get the feeling That the stories too damn real And in the present....tense? Everybody's on the stage And you're the only person Sitting in the audience? Skating away skating away Skating away on the thin ice of a new day
