Lyrics

One night dreaming (and)
You caught my meaning (and)
You took me flying wide
We flew by midnight [moonlight?]
Wind-blown high kites
Blew time out on its side
And soon
I could grasp
Things before I just could not see
I escaped
The cold hand-clasp
Of the world that tried to put
The devil's grip on me
(Woah!)
Got the devil's grip on me babe
Devil's grip on me (oh man!)
Devil's grip on me babe
Devil's grip on me
(Woah!)
(Woah right!)
Looking down at me
Looking down as we
Blew a path of light
I saw smiles creeping
On evil masks sleeping
On minds that were lost to night
One hand
Teacher's hand
Brought a mask to tie on me
Blind I
Fled the land
Of the world that tried to put
The devil's grip on me
(Woah!)
Got the devil's grip on me babe
Devil's grip on me (oh man!)
Devil's grip on me babe
Devil's grip on me
(???)
(so cold!)
