Ten Miles High - Róisín Murphy

Let’s ride ten miles up

Just inside the stratosphere

More sky, more blue jets

Stream by, you’re gonna love it here

Let’s fly ten miles up

Just outside the atmosphere

We’ll climb, oh straight up

Set aside your rational fear

Goodbye, oh little cruel world

Never again will I ever be grounded on Earth or be bound by the hurt in you

Blue eyes offer a brave new world

Out in the starry skies of paradise found

As we rise so far above

Our little lights, in miniature

And even your eyes can be transfixed

Knock, knock, knock it down, your heavenly door!

(One mile into the sight, something’s pulling me back)

One mile in, it keeps pulling me back

(Ten miles)

Have you got to ever leave?

(Feeling's coming now, no turning back)

Higher now, there’s no turning back

(Ten miles gone in the blink)

Gone in the blink of an eye

Goodbye, oh little cruel world

Never again will I ever be grounded on Earth or be bound by the hurt in you

Blue eyes offer a brave new world

Out in the starry skies of paradise found

Lift me off the ground

Then I look down

Sing a sad goodbye

The city is a toy town

Left the law behind

Straight up for miles

Or you can hang down

An alternative never given very much for you

Never be ten miles high

We’ll defy right by your side

Come fill your eyes with its majesty

The tears you’ll cry in the water mist

Leave it all behind and come with me

Goodbye, cruel world

Never again will I ever be grounded on Earth or be bound by the hurt in you

Blue eyes, brave new world

Out in the starry skies of paradise found
