Aerial

Sheets of golden velvet rain
Lubricate my naked steel again
Let the day go by far below
Million miles of sky all I know
Aerial powerglide
Preparing to see her, I got to rise
Now I'm touching myself, I'm painting my eyes
Ain't it hard to rise
When perception lies
Let's stay up here, where we can see
Let the day go by far below
Million miles of sky all I know
Aerial, jellyroll
Let the day go by far below
Million miles of sky all I know
I got friends from other systems too
They all need the same things you do
Ain't it hard to rise
When perception lies
Let's stay up here, where we can see
Let the day go by far below
A million miles of sky all I know
Let the day go by all that I know
Aerial, jellyroll
