Skating Away (On the Thin Ice of the New Day)

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
