Freezing Steel Lyrics

FREEZING STEEL 
  
I`ve flown the house of freezing, the house of freezing steel 
And though my body`s back I know it can`t be real 
`Cause I`ve been on that house without a guiding wheel 
The house of freezing steel 
Oh where`s it going, picked me up at seven 
When my eyes were weak from the light of the morning 
Oh sister won`t you tell me what a man might want to know 
This madness is fine, yes if you`re mad at the time 
Back on the house of freezing, the house of freezing steel 
The tied my body up, I`m forced to eat my meal 
A cold plate of lamb and cold potatoes too 
Now what`s a soul to do 
Oh Lord above, brother won`t you tell me 
Is this a eucharistic dove 
`Cause I`ve been waiting for the right one to appear 
But I`ve seen it in your face, and baby this ain`t the place 
Up on the house of freezing, the house of freezing steel. 
I made my mind up then to get me to the wheel 
I made the cabin door, the pilot turned around 
He said we`re Venus bound 
Oh please take me home 
After all I`m only human and the Earth is where I belong 
I must have looked pitiful to this freak without a face 
`Cause as he touched my head I saw myself back in bed 
I`ve flown the house of freezing, the house of freezing steel 
And though my body`s back I know it can`t be real 
`Cause I`ve been on that house without a guiding wheel 
The house of freezing steel
