Ten Miles High Songtext
von 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 (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 in, it keeps pulling me back
Have you got to ever leave?
Higher now, there's no turning back
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
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

We′ll defy (we′ll defy), right by your side (right by your side)
Come fill your eyes (come fill your eyes), with its majesty (with its majesty)
These tears you'll cry (these tears you′ll cry), in the water mist (in the water mist)
Leave it all behind (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
