Videoklip: Jethro Tull - Skating Away On The Thin Ice Of The New Day

Meanwhile back in the year one
When you belonged to no one
You didn’t stand a chance son
If your panties were undone
’Cause you were bred for humanity
And sold to Society
One day you’ll wake up in the present day
A million generations removed from expectations
Of being who you really want to be

Skating away on the thin ice of a new day

So, as you push off from the shore won’t you turn your head once more
And make your peace with everyone
But those who choose to stay will live just one more day
To do the things they should have done
And as you cross the wilderness a-spinning in your emptiness
You feel you have to pray
Looking for a sign that the universal mind
Has written you into the passion play

Skating away on the thin ice of a new day

And as you cross the circle-line, well the ice-wall creaks behind
You’re a rabbit on the run
And the silver splinters fly in the corner of your eye
Shining in the setting sun
Well, do you ever get the feeling that the story’s too damn real
And in the present tense
Or that everybody’s on the stage and it seems like you’re the only
Person sitting in the audience

Skating away on the thin ice of a new day

Skating away
