Everybody wants to Fly (10.21.9)

Everybody wants to Fly (10.21.9)

Every junkie shooting up
Trying to reach the top
But instead they'll take the plunge
Should they never stop
What a tragic way to die
Via needle evil eye

Everybody wants to Fly
If you deny it, then you lie
Everybody wants to Fly
Higher than high
Everybody wants to Fly
See the Planet from the sky
Everybody wants to Fly
Higher than high
Leave this weary world
If for a while...

Everyone has had the dream
You know what I mean
Some come down in crashing gasps
While others touchdown clean
Jumpers from an airplane
This reality
Broke my fall once as a child
Umbrella and a tree...
Either way we're seeking flight
Up by day or down by night

Everybody wants to Fly
If you deny it, then you lie
Everybody wants to Fly
Higher than high
Everybody wants to Fly
See the Planet from the sky
Everybody wants to Fly
Higher than high
Leave this weary world
If for a while...

Always having to come down
Spirit flies, flesh drawn to the ground


I don't think it's just to fly
That we really yearn
It's all well and good the sky
But it's for the birds
I think it's all a metaphor
For a different high
The irony is what we seek
Takes flight from deep inside
Call me fool or call me wise
Either way we learn to fly

Everybody wants to Fly
If you deny it, then you lie
Everybody wants to Fly
Higher than high
Everybody wants to Fly
See the Planet from the sky
Everybody wants to Fly
Higher than high
Leave this weary world
If for a while...
