[Eb] Meanwhile back in [C] the year one,
[Eb] when you [C] belonged to no one,
[Eb]
You didn't [Cm] stand a chance, son, [Eb] [Bb] if your [F] plans were unworn.
Cause you were [Bb]
[F] bred for [Bb] humanity, [F] and souls for [Bb] society.
[F] One day you'll wake up in [Bb] the present day,
[Eb] A million generations [Bbm] removed from expectations,
[F] Of [Bb] being who you really [C] want to be.
[Bb] [F]
Skating away, skating away, skating away,
[Bbm] On the thin ice of [Eb] a new day.
[Bb]
[F] Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
[Bb]
So as you push off [F] from the shore,
Won't you turn your [C] head once more,
And make your [F] peace with everyone,
[Bb]
But those who choose to [F] stay,
Will [Bb] live just [C] one more day,
To do the [F] things they should have done.
[Bb] And as you cross the wilderness,
[C] Spending in your emptiness,
[F] You really have to pray.
[Bb] Looking for a sign [Ab] that the [Eb] universal mind,
[F] Has written [Bb] you into the [C] passion play.
[F]
Skating away, skating away, skating away,
On the thin [Bb] ice of [Eb] a new day.
[Bb]
Hey, hey, [F] hey, hey, hey.
[Bb]
And as you cross the [F] circle line,
When [Bb] the ice wall [C] creaks behind,
You're a rabbit [F] on the run,
[Bb]
And silver [F] splendors fly,
In the corner [C] of your eye,
Shining in [F] the setting sun.
[Bb] Well, do you ever get the feeling,
[C] That the story's too damn real,
And [F] then the presence,
And sense,
[Bb] All that everybody's on the [Ab] stage,
And it [Eb] seems like [Bb] you're the [F] only,
Person [Bb] sitting in the [C] audience.
[F] Skating away, [Bb] [F] skating away, skating away,
[Bb] On the thin ice [Eb] of a new day.
[Bb]
[F] Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Skating away, skating away, [Bb] skating [Fm] away.
