Climbing up on Salisbury Hill,
I could see the city lights
An eagle flew out of the night
He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing stretching every nerve
I had to listen, had no choice
I could not believe the inform ation
I just had to trust imagination
My heart go ing boom, boom, boom
Son, he said, grab your things
I've come to take you home
And keepin' silence, I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
The open door would soon be shut
So I went from day to day
It's as though my life were in a rut
Until I thought of what I'd say,
and which connection I should cut.
I was feeling part of the scenery,
I walked right out of the machinery.
My heart going boom, boom, boom.
Son, he said, grab your things
I've come to take you home.
When illusion spins a net,
I'm never where I want to be
And liberty she pirouettes,
when I think that I am free
Watched by empty silhouettes
Who closed their eyes but still don't see
No one taught them etiquette
The day I don't need a replacement
I show them what the smile
My heart going boom, boom, boom
if you keep my things safe,
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
