In The Ether - The Who

In the ether

I hang suspended

I wait for you

And I know you’re near

In this high heaven

My world’s upended

I feel no passion

I feel no fear

I’m dizzy with love

But you never appear

In the gloom of this room

Of this cell down here

I know this place

Isn’t truly real

And that like my love

It expands and sprays

The light will find me

Will bend toward me

Yet I’m marooned

In a billion days

I’m drunk with you

And I can’t explain

Who or where I am

Or how I’m in pain

Rocking and rocking me

Rhythm is shocking me

Just like a child in your fist

You are knocking me

Rocking and rocking

Autistic, caged I am

Rocking and rocking

And rocking enraged

In the ether

In the ether

I wait for you

Hanging in this mist

That I know’s unreal

There is nothing there

There’s no you, no me

Even though it’s crazy

I still appeal

This is heavenly hell

I appear insane

I have no idea

Who there is to blame
