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
I could be 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 glide

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 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 looked below
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
