[length: 04:00]
[00:00.38]Meanwhile back in the year one
[00:03.93]When you belonged to no-one
[00:08.79]You didn’t stand a chance son
[00:12.95]If your pants were undone.
[00:18.46]’Cause you were bred for humanity
[00:24.71]And sold to society
[00:30.48]One day you’ll wake up
[00:33.17]In the present day
[00:36.69]A million generations
[00:39.41]Removed from expectations of
[00:42.90]Being who you really want to be.
[00:48.42]Skating away,
[00:51.19]Skating away
[00:54.16]Skating away
[00:56.32]On the thin ice of the new day.
[01:06.23]So as you push off from the shore
[01:09.46]Won’t you turn your head once more
[01:12.70]And make your peace with everyone?
[01:17.71]For those who choose to stay
[01:21.04]Will live just one more day
[01:24.40]To do the things they should have done.
[01:28.44]And as you cross the wilderness
[01:30.92]Spinning in your emptiness:
[01:33.07]You feel you have to pray.
[01:40.41]Looking for a sign that the universal mind has written you into the passion play.
[01:51.43]Skating away,
[01:54.12]Skating away
[01:57.33]Skating away
[01:59.41]On the thin ice of the new day.
[02:09.14]And as you cross the circle line
[02:12.58]The ice-wall creaks behind
[02:15.61]You’re a rabbit on the run.
[02:20.99]And the silver splinters fly
[02:23.99]In the corner of your eye
[02:27.25]Shining in the setting sun.
[02:31.15]Well, do you ever get the feeling that the story’s too damn real and in the present
[02:37.89]Tense?
[02:43.14]Or that everybody’s on the stage,
[02:45.71]And it seems like you’re the only person
[02:49.69]Sitting in the audience?
[02:54.85]Skating away,
[02:57.42]Skating away
[03:00.52]Skating away
[03:02.84]On the thin ice of the new day,
[03:11.88]Skating away,
[03:14.54]Skating away,
[03:17.68]Skating away
