Slipstream

are you drifting, there is nowhere to go

life support is down and your systems low

are you cruising on your secondary cells

waiting for the bell (oh do you really think so)

flat line you’re illusory mind

dreams are for the bold and you’re not that kind

disappointment has a house on that road

best to stay at home (oh do you really think so)

you’re safe and warm inside

your chances pass you by

the question fills your mind

are you caught in a slipstream

are you lost in the fog

can you see through the windscreen

are you sure it’s safe to follow somebody’s taillight

are you already lost

when you get to the daylight

when you recognise the world you walked across

are you listening with your head in the sand

drown the words you don’t want to understand

‘til the song stops, is it safe to come out

nobody’s about (oh do you really think so)

too late now there’s nowhere to go,

life support is down and your systems low

and your fuel light said you’ll never get home

now you’re all alone (oh do you really think so)

you’re scared to stay inside

your chances pass you by

the question fills your mind

penny for the dreams you thought you’d lost

penny for the dreams you thought you’d see

penny for the price you thought it cost

penny for the one you thought you’d be

pity for the times you kept it all

pity for the wealth you thought you’d get

pity for the day your empire falls

pity for the day your life got caught

are you caught in a slipstream

are you lost in the fog

can you see through the windscreen

are you sure it’s safe to follow somebody’s taillight

are you already lost

when you get to the daylight

when you recognise the world you walked acros
