Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel

Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time (1)__________ 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
I did not believe the information
Just had to trust imagination
My heart (2)__________ boom, boom, boom
"Son," he said, "grab your things
I've come to take you home"

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
Till I thought of (3)________ I'd say
Which connection I should cut
I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going boom, boom, boom
"Hey," he said, "Grab your things
I've come to take you home"
Yeah, back home

When illusion spin her net
I'm (4)__________ where I (5)________ to be
And liberty, she pirouette
When I (6)__________ that I am free
Watched by empty silhouette
Who close their eyes but still can see
No one (7)____________ them etiquette
I (8)________ show another me
Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them (9)________ the smile on my face meant
My heart going boom, boom, boom
"Hey," I said, "You can keep my things
They've come to take me home"
