Skating Away (On the Thin Ice of the New Day) (Live|2004 Remaster) - 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 bread for humanity

And sold to society

One day you'll wake in the present days

A million generations removed from expectation of

Abeing 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 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

Aspinnin' in your emtyness

You feel you have to pray

Lookin' 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

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

Shinin' in the settin' 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

Sittin' in the audience

Skating away

Skating away

Skating away

On the thin ice of a new day

Skating away

Skating away

Skating away
