Steppin' In A Slide Zone

The Moody Blues

(John Lodge)



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
