Skating Away Lyrics - Jethro Tull

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 bread for humanity 

And sold to society 

One day you'll wake in the present days 

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

So as you push of from the shore 

Won't you turn your head once more 

And make your peace with ev'ryone 

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 

Aspinning 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 

Photos 

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 the feeling 

That the story's too damn real and in the present tense 

Or that ev'rybody'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 

Skating away 

Skating away 

Skating away
