Toyah Willcox "Falling To Earth" from her 1988 album "Prostitute"
This excellent song appeared to be missing from youtube, and the internet in general, which is a shame. So here it is for however long that lasts.
Come with me
No don't ask questions, just follow
I cannot sleep, the saint in me eludes me
This man is not what I think he is
A halo of thorns, spear in his side
Coaxing me to Earth
A parachute eclipses the sun
Hovers on the slipstream
Hangs on every note
He denies me his knowledge
Eyes piercing and eagle bright
Lifts me from my dull existence
Hurls me off the cliff In clumsy flight
Falling to Earth
I'm falling
The air's so good it gives nutrients
And your presence builds as you rumble on down the corridor
It's rocking and I feel as if I'm floating in water but I'm not drowning
I must be there in every moment
Woooo!
Ten thousand decibels
So mean it pins me to all four walls
Opening up my secrets, ha!
I'm exposing myself!
So uncool, I'm storm-torn but it's really exciting
Spread-eagle in the air
This telekinetic hold
Christ, he's the mirror that reflects my thoughts
And he's pulling me from the firmament
And the sun goes behind the mountain
And the night eclipses
Oh god...
Falling to Earth
I'm falling
I thought I was supposed to feel prepared
Can you hear me
I'm calling on the ESP telephone
Is there anyone there
Falling to Earth
I'm falling
