Falling to Earth - Toyah

I cannot sleep

The saint in me eludes me

This man is not what I think he is

A halo of thorns

Spear in his side

Coaxing me to earth

A parachute eclipses the sun

Hovers on the slipstream

Hangs on every note

He denies me his knowledge

Eyes piercing and eagle bright

Lifts me from my dull existence

Hurls me off the cliff

In clumsy flight

Falling to earth

I’m falling…

The air’s so good it

Gives nutrients and

Your presence builds

As you rumble on down the corridor

It’s rockin' and I feel as if

I’m floatin' in water but

I’m not drowning

I must be there

In every moment

Ooooo

Ten thousand decibels so mean

It pins me to all four walls

Opening up my secrets

I’m exposing myself

So uncool

I’m storm-torn but it’s really exciting

Spread-eagle in the air

This telekinetic hold

Christ, he’s the mirror that

Reflects my thoughts

And he’s pulling me from the firmament

The sun goes behind the mountain and night eclipses

Oh god

I’m falling to earth

I’m falling…

I thought I was supposed to feel prepared

Can you hear me calling

I’m calling on the esp telephone

Falling

Falling
