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

Jethro Tull

Skating Away On The Thin Ice Of The New Day

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've done.
And as you cross the wilderness,
Spinning in your emptiness
If you have to, pray.
Looking for a sign, that the universal minds
Has written you into the passion play.

Skating away, skating away, skating away
On the thin ice of the new day

And as you cross the circle line,
Well 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 everbody'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

Mirror lyrics:

Skating away, skating away, skating away

On the thin ice of the new day
Skating away, skating away, skating away

Person sitting in the audience
And it seems like you're the only
Or that everbody's on the stage
And in the present tense.
That the story's too damn real
Well do you ever get the feeling
Shining in the setting sun.
In the corner of your eye,
And the silver splinters fly
You're a rabbit on the run.
Well the ice wall creaks behind
And as you cross the circle line,

On the thin ice of the new day
Skating away, skating away, skating away

Has written you into the passion play.
Looking for a sign, that the universal minds
If you have to, pray.
Spinning in your emptiness
And as you cross the wilderness,
To do the things they should've done.
Will live just one more day,
For those who choose to stay
And make your peace with everyone.
Won't you turn your head once more
So as you push off from the shore,

On the thin ice of the new day
Skating away, skating away, skating away,

Of being who you really want to be.
A million generations removed from expectations
One day you'll wake up, in the present day
And sold to society
'Cause you were bred, for humanity

If your pants were undone.
You didn't stand a chance, son,
When you belonged to no one,
Meanwhile back in the year one,
