Skating Away On The Thin Ice Of The New Day Lyrics - Warchild - Jethro Tull

Meanwhile 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 day 

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 the new day.

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 

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 the new day. 

Photos 

And as you cross the circle line 

The ice-wall creaks behind 

You're a rabbit on the run. 

And the 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 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 the new day, 

Skating away, 

Skating away, 

Skating away
