text: 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 reel
  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
  Unladen, empty and turned to stone
  A soul in tension that’s learning to fly
  Condition grounded but determined to try
  Can’t keep my eyes from the circling skies
  Tongue-tied and twisted
  Just an earth-bound misfit, I
  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 skies
  Tongue-tied and twisted
  Just an earth-bound misfit, I
