The Sky Moves Sideways (Phase One) is a 4 part composition and the first of the 2 Phases. It is often compared to Pink Floyd’s ‘Shine on you Crazy Diamond’ due to it being cut into 2 halves that start and end the album
[Section I: The Colour of Air]
[Section II: I Find That I'm Not There]
[Verse 1]
We lost the skyline
We stepped right off the map
Drifted in to blank space
And let the clocks relapse
[Verse 2]
We laughed the rain down
Slow burn on the lawn
Ghosts across the downtown
Swallowed up the storm
[Chorus]
Sometimes I
I feel like a fist
Sometimes I am
The colour of air
Sometimes it's only afterwards
I find that I'm not there
[Verse 3]
In the dream dusk
We walked beside the lake
We watched the sky move sideways
And heard the evening break
[Chorus]
Sometimes I
I feel like a fist
Sometimes I am
The colour of air
Sometimes it's only afterwards
I find that I'm not there
[Section III: Wire the Drum]
[Section IV: Spiral Circus]
