[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
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
I had to listen, had no choice
[Chorus 1]
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"
[Verse 2]
To keep in 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
Though my life was in a rut
Until I thought of what I'd say
Which connection I should cut
[Chorus 2]
I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going boom, boom, boom
"Son," he said
"Grab your things, I've come to take you home"
[Verse 3]
When illusion spin her net
Never where I want to be
Liberty she pirouette
When I think that I am free
Oh, watched by empty silhouettes
Close their eyes but I can see, yeah
No one taught them etiquette
I will show another me, yeah
[Chorus 3]
Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
(My heart going)
And my heart going boom, boom boom
"Hey" I said
"You can keep my things, they've come to take me home"
[Interlude]
Phone home
Watch out for it
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going boom, boom, boom
"Son," he said
"Grab your things, I've come to take you home"
