Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Let's ride ten miles up
Just inside the stratosphere
More sky, more blue jets
Stream by, you're gonna love it here
[Verse 2]
Let's ride ten miles up
Just inside the atmosphere
We'll climb up, oh, straight up
Set aside your rational fear
[Verse 3]
Goodbye, oh, little cruel world
Never again will I ever be grounded
One Earth or be bound by the hurt in you
Blue eyes offer a brave new world
Out in the starry skies of paradise found
[Verse 4]
As we arise so far above
Our little lights in miniature
And even your eyes can be transfixed
Knock, knock, knock it down
Your heavenly door
[Verse 5]
One mile in, something's pulling me back
Have you got to ever leave?
Higher now, there's no turning back
Gone in the blink of an eye
[Verse 6]
Goodbye, oh, little cruel world
Never again will I ever be grounded
One Earth or be bound by the hurt in you
Blue eyes offer a brave new world
Out in the starry skies of paradise found
[Verse 7]
Lift me off the ground
Then I look down
Sing a sad goodbye
This city is a torn 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
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
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
