Fell out of the air
And you broke your wings
Like you're doing every other time
Made a new pair
Out of broken things
To give it all another try
And you climb right up
To the highest peaks
And reach out to the edge
Of the world you seek
Afraid of heights
So you don't believe
You could ever be good enough
Go on then
Icarus
Take your turn!
You always fly right up
Until it burns
Your wings you
Never could change
Always the victim
Into the flames again
Go on then
Icarus
Take your turn!
You'll never go through them
(INSTRUMENTAL)
Head in the clouds
Buried your
Feet in the ground
Telling
Yourself it's the world that holds you down
But you've got your
Chin held high
And your chest pumped up
The replica of a runner-up
You were made for skies,
But you called your bluff
Now you'll never be good enough
Go on then
Icarus
Take your turn!
You always
Fly right up
Until it burns
Your wings you
Never could change
Always the victim
Into the flames again
Go on then
Icarus
Take your turn!
You'll never go through them
You'll never go through them
You'll never go through them
Fall back down, back down again
You've got your heads in the clouds
On the ground again,
Oh-oh-oh
Looking for a scapegoat
To hold your feet
Pounding on your chest
So you don't feel weak
You fall back down,
Back down again
GO ON THEN
Icarus
Take your turn!
You always
Fly right up
Until it burns
Your wings you
Never could change
Always the victim
Into the flames again
Go on then
Icarus
Take your turn!
You'll never go through them
