Album: The Best of Funky Alternatives
Rode in the grip of an angel
Hands tied in cords of gold
We'd made a deal, I went astray
Now I'm falling with hell to pay
Rode in the grip of an angel
Occupied with thoughts of gold
I learned a dance on the head of a pin
It didn't save me from eternal sin
C Now I'm learning to fly by myself
Stealing my grain from the mouths of birds
Touch ground for an occasional birdbath
Crap on the heads of passers-by
"Fairy Land doesn't last forever Making fun of my moping around and being
A pain in the arse, etc, etc Another one of these flying songs We've
Actually dropped the lyrics on later versions They're a bit obvious,
Y'know"
