Janis Ian - Fly Too High Lyrics
Anonymous autonomous will likely get the best of us yetBefore you disappear if you can lend me half an ear, I'll regretIf I treat you like a numberIt's because I can't remember your name, mmmSo have another cigarette and help me to forget why I cameRun too fast, fly-y too high, Run too fast, fly too highOn dark and lonely nights I'm only right when things are bright on the floorDancin' and romancin', gallivanting with a handsome I scoreAnd if you don't believe me you should see me when I'm ready to roar'Cause I'll lose my concentration with a new infatuation I'm sureYou run too fast, fly-y too high, Run too fast, fly to high-igh-ighYou got no past, no goodbyes, You run too fast, and you fly too highWould you believe I was once gonna be somebody-y-y-yI packed up my bags and I took what I had to the city-y-y-yMan it was rough to find the best I could beWaitin' for the limit on a colour TVNow I've made it this far, Got a room on the park and a viewBrand new, Fly too highFull Boar version ends here, Night Rains version continues:Run too fast, Fly too high, Run too fast, Fly too highHanging around on the infield, what do you stealBut another feel at the topMaking believe in the long run, when a shotgunIs the way to get out of the shopHang tail in a new jail, You can go bailYou can dance until you drop'Cause there's no fool like an old fool, in a new schoolYou just can't stopRun too fast, fly-y too highYou run too fast, fly-y too high-igh-ighRun too fast, fly-y too high, mmm-mmmRun too fast, fly to high (fade)
