Jethro Tull - Skating Away Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Really don't mind if you sit this one out.
  • My words but a whisper -- your deafness a SHOUT.
  • I may make you feel but I can't make you think.
  • Your sperm's in the gutter -- your love's in the sink.
  • So you ride yourselves over the fields and
  • you make all your animal deals and
  • your wise men don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick.
  • And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away in
  • the tidal destruction
  • the moral melee.
  • The elastic retreat rings the close of play as the last wave uncovers
  • the newfangled way.
  • But your new shoes are worn at the heels and
  • your suntan does rapidly peel and
  • your wise men don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick.
  • And the love that I feel is so far away:
  • I'm a bad dream that I just had today -- and you
  • shake your head and
  • say it's a shame.
  • Spin me back down the years and the days of my youth.
  • Draw the lace and black curtains and shut out the whole truth.
  • Spin me down the long ages: let them sing the song.
