Dancing Madly Backwards (on a Sea of Air) Lyrics by Captain Beyond

Captain Beyond

1972

[Part 1]
[Verse 1]
Dancing madly backwards
Dancing on a sea
Erasing all my memories
Of blackness in my dreams
Tip toe, tip toe quickly
Forget about your cares
And remember underneath you
Is just a sea of air
Just remember underneath you
Is just a sea of air
[Verse 2]
Wishing all your wishes
Landing on a star
Knowing you are planted here
Knowing that's so far
Dance, dance faster
Madly dance away
But remember underneath you
Is just a sea of air
Just remember underneath you
Is just a sea of air
[Part 2]
[Verse 3]
Well, it's alright now, looked it face to face
Don't complain, if it seems too late
No no no no no
[Verse 4]
Ah, 'cause I'm not sitting on the golden gate
Love and a-peace and a-war and hate
No no no no no
Well I'm not gonna sit around and wait
All I'm a-doing is losing my faith
No no no no
But we're all on stage and that's for sure
Searching is endless when there ain't no cure
