I was there for a while,
The tops of my feet
Just skimming cloud nine.

Baby, I danced on air.

But then I looked down at the treetops,
And I traded paradise for earth.

Because I couldn't feel love or life or anything up there.
But on earth I can feel dead loveless human beings.
And aren't they worth that fall.
I felt an overlap.
And my reflection almost looked familiar.
I felt once,
And I'll feel again
And I'll overcome whatever it is
That cursed me from my body.
