Jethro Tull Skating Away on the Thin Ice of a New Day song lyrics

Mean while 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 expectations of

Being 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 ev´ryone

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

Aspinning in your emptiness you feel you have to pray

Looking 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

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 ev´rybody´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 a new day

Skating away

Skating away

Skating away
