Lyrics
Man In The Air
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.
Reclining in a chair at the edge of otherwhere
Maybe madness - and maybe understand-ness
& full of wise
The man up in the air keeps a very steady stare
He can see you - can see right through you
With inner eyes
The Man up in the air!
And you'd never know it - as he floats in the air
He's passing through stars!
The man is poet - imagine a mountain
A fountain of free-flowing mind
Man up the air! He can fly off anywhere
The man up in the air - has a vision of everywhere
Recollected - and finally connected
And harmonized
