Lyrics

I'm floating over strange land
It's a soulless, sequined, showbiz moon
I'm floating over strange land
And then stranger still, there's no balloon
But I'm getting higher
Wafted up by fame's fickle fire 'til the..

Chalkhills and children
Anchor my feet
Chalkhills and children
Bringing me back to earth
Eternally and ever ermine street
(Even I never know where I go when my eyes are closed.)

I'm skating over thin ice
Upon blunted blades of metal soft
I'm skating over thin ice
While some nonesuch net holds me aloft
But I'm getting higher
Lifted up on lucks' circus wire 'til the..

Chalkhills and children
Anchor my feet
Chalkhills and children
Bringing me back to earth
Eternally and ever ermine street

Even I never know where I go when my eyes are closed
Even I never spied that the scenes were posed

Chalkhills and children
Anchor my feet
Chalkhills and children
Bringing me back to earth
Eternally and ever ermine street

Still I'm getting higher
Icarus regrets and retires puzzled

Chalkhills and children
Anchor my feet
Chalkhills and children
Oddly complete
(Even I never know where I go when my eyes are all closed.)

Here I go again
