about
An early Skyscape demo from the summer of 1992. Remixed from the original 4-track cassette in the summer of 2017!
lyrics
I'm up and away
Look at me, I'm floating
Fly a swirling ring about the sun
Since the first breath of my very first day
I realized that my destiny lay
Up in the sky
My friends love me, they don't think I'm foolish
They went into town and bought me a wish
And now I can fly
Concentrate on pale blue skies
The breeze picks up, I rise
My friends shrink before my eyes
I break the clouds, and I'm hypnotized
I'm up and away
Look at me, I'm floating
Fly a swirling ring about the sun
I would look up, but there's nothing to see
The whole universe lies below me
About as tangible as air
Skirting the moon a hundred times
I live the most fanciful nursery rhymes
I think that's Earth down there
The scales on my eyes begin to crack
I see the power I lack
Drifting here in the black
I realize I can't go back
I would gladly renounce this crown
If I could just get back down
Lonely here with no friends around
Flying's nice, but I miss the ground
I'm up and away
Look at me, I'm floating
Fly an endless ring about the sun
About the sun
Look at me, I'm floating
Fly a swirling ring about the sun
Since the first breath of my very first day
I realized that my destiny lay
Up in the sky
My friends love me, they don't think I'm foolish
They went into town and bought me a wish
And now I can fly
Concentrate on pale blue skies
The breeze picks up, I rise
My friends shrink before my eyes
I break the clouds, and I'm hypnotized
I'm up and away
Look at me, I'm floating
Fly a swirling ring about the sun
I would look up, but there's nothing to see
The whole universe lies below me
About as tangible as air
Skirting the moon a hundred times
I live the most fanciful nursery rhymes
I think that's Earth down there
The scales on my eyes begin to crack
I see the power I lack
Drifting here in the black
I realize I can't go back
I would gladly renounce this crown
If I could just get back down
Lonely here with no friends around
Flying's nice, but I miss the ground
I'm up and away
Look at me, I'm floating
Fly an endless ring about the sun
About the sun
