Chalkhills And Children |
| I’m floating over strange land |
| It’s a soulless, sequined, showbiz moon |
| I’m floating over strange land |
| And then stranger still, there’s no balloon |
| But I’m getting higher |
| Wafted up by fame’s fickle fire 'til the |
| Chalk hills and children |
| Anchor my feet |
| Chalk hills and children |
| Bringing me back to earth |
| Eternally and ever Ermine Street |
| (Even I never know where I go when my eyes are closed) |
| I’m skating over thin ice |
| Upon blunted blades of metal soft |
| I’m skating over thin ice |
| While some none such net holds me aloft |
| But I’m getting higher |
| Lifted up on lucks' circus wire 'til the |
| Chalk hills and children |
| Anchor my feet |
| Chalk hills and children |
| Bringing me back to earth |
| Eternally and ever Ermine Street |
| Even I never know where I go when my eyes are closed |
| Even I never spied that the scenes were posed |
| Even I never knew this is what I’d be |
| Even eyes never mean that you’re sure to see |
| Still I’m getting higher |
| Rolling up on three empty tyres, 'til the |
| Chalk hills and children |
| Anchor my feet |
| Chalk hills and children |
| Bringing me back to earth |
| Eternally and ever Ermine Street |
| I’m soaring over hushed crowds |
| The reluctant cannonball it seems |
| I’m soaring over hushed crowds |
| I’m propelled up here by long dead dreams |
| Still I’m getting higher |
| Icarus regrets and retires puzzled |
| Chalk hills and children |
| Anchor my feet |
| Chalk hills and children |
| Oddly complete |
| (Even I never know where I go when my eyes are all closed) |
| Here I go again |
