Learning To Fly Lyrics - A Momentary Lapse Of Reason - Pink Floyd

Into the distance a ribbon of black 

Stretched to the point of no turning back 

A flight of fancy on a wind swept field 

Standing alone my senses reeled 

A fatal attraction is holding me fast 

How can I escape this irresistible grasp? 

Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky 

Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I 

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings 

Unheeded warnings I thought 

I thought of everything 

No navigator to find my way home 

Unladened, empty and turned to stone

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer 

My grubby halo, a vapor trail in the empty air 

Across the clouds I see my shadow fly 

Out of the corner of my watering eye 

A dream unthreatened by the morning light 

Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night 

There's no sensation to compare with this 

Suspended animation, a state of bliss 

Can't keep my mind from the circling sky 

Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I
