THE WINGED MAN
Heaven knows why but he saved us from the furnace
We mistreated his kind and stained his need to see
Heaven knows why
Our people will fly
Memory will die
This winged man he cried
Melting above he drew his energy from below
And seeing the sun he knew he had to go
Heaven knows why
Our people will fly
Memory will die
This winged man he cried
Can you hear the voices?
Hear the voices around you
And the echo of the voices
Hear them too
Play on
Play on
Seething below the man was a wreck of invention
And we brought him down just like a crash landing
Heaven knows why
Our people will fly
Memory will die
This winged man he cried
He was too far ahead for us here and so he flew
Back to the sun where he’s working on something new
Heaven knows why
Our people will fly
Memory will die
This winged man he cried
