Standard (EADGBE)

Mean while back in the year one

When you belonged to no one

You didn´t stand a chance son

If your pants were undone

´Cause you were bred for humanity

And sold to society

One day you´ll wake up: in the present days

A million generations, removed from expectation of,

being who you really want to be

Skating away

Skating away

Skating away

On the thin ice of a new day ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay

So as you push off from the shore,

won t you turn your head once more;

and make your peace with everyone?

For those who choose to stay, will live just one more day

To do the things they should have done

And as you cross the wilderness,

a spinning in your emptiness you feel you have to pray

Looking for a sign, that the universal mind,

has written you into the passion play

Skating away

Skating away

Skating away

On the thin ice of a new day ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay

And as you cross the circle line,

well the ice wall creaks behind;

you re a rabbit on the run

And silver splinters fly in the corner of your eye

Shining in the setting sun

Well do you ever get to feeling,

that the story s too damn real, and in the present tense

Or that everybody s on the stage,

and it seems like you re the only, person sitting in the audience?

Skating away

Skating away

Skating away

On the thin ice of a new day ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay

Skating away

Skating away

Skating away
