Skater Of The Surface
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Skater of the surface
Where the ice is thin
Without plan or point or purpose
You just spin and spin and spin and spin
Skater of the surface
You never, never cross the line
And if it's true that ignorance is bliss
Then you must be coming all the time
Chorus:
You see what's before your eyes
And there's no lies and no disguise
A riptide's gonna pull you under
Skater of the surface
You have nothing, nothing to say
Without plan or point or purpose
You're just spinning your life away
(Chorus)
And it's pulling you under, pulling you...
(Chorus)
