Flight From Lucifer Lyrics - A Passion Play - Jethro Tull

Flee the icy lucifer. 

oh he's an awful fellow! 

what a mistake! 

i didn't take a feather from his pillow. 

here's the everlasting rub: neither am i good or bad. 

i'd give up my halo for a horn and the horn for the hat i once had. 

i'm only breathing. 

there's life on my ceiling. 

the flies there are sleeping quietly. 

twist my right arm in the dark. 

i would give two or three for 

one of those days that never made 

impressions on the old score. 

i would gladly be a dog barking up the wrong tree. 

everyone's saved we're in the grave. 

see you there for afternoon tea. 

time for awaking the tea lady's making 

a brew-up and baking new bread. 

pick me up at half past none 

there's not a moment to lose. 

there is the train on which i came. 

on the platform are my old shoes. 

station master rings his bell. 

whistles blow and flags wave. 

a little of what you fancy does you good (or so it should). 

i thank everybody 

for making me welcome. 

i'd stay but my wings have just dropped off.
