STEPPIN' IN A SLIDE ZONE
(John Lodge)
The Moody Blues


I took a ride in a limousine,
I took a road I'd never been.
I met a stranger by the way,
His coat was torn but his eyes were clear.

Standing in a slide zone,
Steppin' in a slide zone.

He told me where a river flows,
He showed me how the apple grows.
He told me of a magic stream,
His face was worn but his eyes were clear.

Standing in a slide zone,
I could be steppin' in a slide zone.
Standing in a slide zone,
I could be steppin' through a time zone.

He went to find a shooting star,
Around the bend, that's where they are.
I went along just for the ride,
Suddenly I began to slide.

Standing in a slide zone,
I could be steppin' through a time zone.

The air raced by there was no sound,
We drifted high above the ground.
And then he said you know this place,
And then a smile lit up his face.

Standing in a slide zone,
I could be steppin' in a slide zone.
Standing in a slide zone,
I could be steppin' through a time zone.

I turned my head and I looked below, Slide zone...
And there was something there I know.
Suddenly I began to fall,
I looked around and tried to call.

Standing in a slide zone,
He had me steppin' in a time zone.
Standing in a slide zone,
Falling through a time zone.

Help me please, I thought I said,
Then something happened in my head.
Music came from all around,
And I knew what I had found.

Standing in a slide zone,
Falling through a time zone.
Steppin' in a slide zone,
He had me falling through a time zone.
Slide zone, slide zone,
Slide zone, time zone.
