Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
   I could see the city light
   Wind was blowing, time stood still
   Eagle flew out of the night
   He was something to observe
   Came in close, I heard a voice
   Standing stretching every nerve
   Had to listen had no choice
   I did not believe the information
   [I] just had to trust imagination
   My heart going boom boom boom
   "Son," he said "Grab your things,
   I've come to take you home."
  
   To keepin' silence I resigned
   My friends would think I was a nut
   Turning water into wine
   Open doors would soon be shut
   So I went from day to day
   Tho' my life was in a rut
   "Till I thought of what I'd say
   Which connection I should cut
   I was feeling part of the scenery
   I walked right out of the machinery
   My heart going boom boom boom
   "Hey" he said "Grab your things
   I've come to take you home."
   <Back home.>
  
   When illusion spin her net
   I'm never where I want to be
   And liberty she pirouette
   When I think that I am free
   Watched by empty silhouettes
   Who close their eyes but still can see
   No on taught them etiquette
   I will show another me
   Today I don't need a replacement
   I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
   My heart going boom boom boom
   "Hey" I said "You can keep my things,
   they've come to take me home."
