Róisín Murphy Lyrics
"Ten Miles High"

[Verse 1]
Let's ride ten miles up
Just inside the stratosphere
More sky, more blue jets
Stream by, you're gonna love it here

[Verse 2]
Let's fly ten miles up
Just outside the atmosphere
We'll climb, oh straight up
Set aside your rational fear

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 3]
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!

[Verse 4]
(One mile into the sight, something's pulling me back)
One mile in, it keeps pulling me back
(Ten miles ___?)
Have you got to ever leave?
(Feeling's coming now, no turning back)
Higher now, there's no turning back
(Ten miles gone in the blink)
Gone in the blink of an eye

[Chorus 1]
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

[Bridge]
Lift me off the ground
Then I look down
Sing a sad goodbye
The city is a toy 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

[Verse 5]
We'll defy right by your side
Come fill your eyes with its majesty
The tears you'll cry in the water mist
Leave it all behind and come with me

[Chorus 2]
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
