Slow Serious (Live at Cornerstone 1994)

歌詞

I'd never seen the ocean Until that afternoon The wind was bitter, icy I promised we'd be leavin' soon The gale picked me up Startled from my perch I fly I was sorta happy Till I met the tide Suddenly it was diff'rent Kinda like in a dream Very last thing I thought I heard Was U begin 2 scream It's so funny how things appear 2 B When you're warm & safe at home It's so funny how things begin 2 feel When you're in the middle of something real I'd never flown an airplane High across the skies But one Wednesday I got my chance When our pilot died As I climbed into the cabin I heard the attendant say "It's just like riding a Big Wheel Except...different...in a way" When I sat down it shocked me Not at all like on TV Lots more knobs, wheels & switches & no parachute left 4 me I once thirsted on another planet Which one is hard 2 tell But if I had 2 draw it on a page It'd look a lot like Hell Lots of people with no faces Begging 4 their cup Sand spilled forth from our lips & I could not wake up
