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
