Pink Floyd - Learning to fly

Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone, my senses reeled
A fatal attraction is holding me fast
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Can't keep my eyes
From the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted
Just an earthbound misfit, I

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings
I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to find my way home
Unladen, empty and turned to stone A soul intention, that's learning to fly
Condition grounded
But determined to try
Can't keep my eyes
From the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted
Just an earthbound misfit, I

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream, unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right
Through the roof of the night

There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, a state of bliss
Can't keep my mind
From the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted
Just an earthbound misfit, I
