The Moody Blues
Steppin’ in a Slide Zone
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Standing in a slide zone
Steppin' in a slide zone
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' through a time zone
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
(Slide zone!)
[Verse 5]
I turned my head and looked below
And there was something there I know
Suddenly, I began to fall
I looked around and tried to call
[Chorus]
Standing in a slide zone
He had me steppin' in a time zone
Standing in a slide zone
Falling through a time zone
[Verse 5]
"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
[Chorus]
Standing in a slide zone
Falling through a time zone
Steppin' in a slide zone
He had me falling through a time zone
[Outro]
(Slide zone!)
(Slide zone!)
(Slide zone!)
(Time zone!)
[Instrumental Outro]
