Strum
D-DU-UDU
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
