Alaska

[Verse 1]
Well it chewed us up and then spat us out
Stumbling into daylight
And we learned what dreams are all about
Let us not pretend

I swallowed everything you said
A constant stream of poison
And the blindest visions filled my head
Rejoicing in the dark

[Chorus]
And when my spirit flies
I still touch the stars
And when my spirit flies
I know it won't last

[Verse 2]
Well I've drowned in every shade of blue
Now I know that it's all over
And there's nothing I can say or do
To rearrange the past

For one brief moment in that time
We caught a glimpse of freedom
And I will be dissatisfied
Until I'm there again

[Chorus]
And when my spirit flies
I still touch the stars
And when my spirit flies
I know it won't last

[Verse 3]
Step outside you can almost see an Alaskan sunrise
Like a veil, it will lift your consciousness over again
There were times when I lost all touch with the world and it's sorrows
In the end, only doubt and wasted emotion remain

Well it chewed us up and spat us out
Stumbling into daylight
And we learnt what dreams were all about
Let us not pretend

[Chorus]
And when my spirit flies
I still touch the stars
And when my spirit flies
I know it won't last
And when my spirit flies
I still touch the stars
And when my spirit flies
I know it won't last

[Outro]
Well it chewed us up and spat us out
