Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Flying high

In the friendly sky

Flying high

Without ever leavin' the ground, no

Rest of the folks

Are tired and weary

Oh Lord

And have laid their bodies down

[Verse 2]

Ah, yeah

I go the place

Where danger awaits me

And it's bound to forsake me

So stupid minded

I can't help it

Oh, so stupid minded

[Verse 3]

But I go crazy

When I can't find it

In the morning

I'll be alright, my friend

But soon the night

Will bring the pains

The pain, oh, the pain

[Verse 4]

Flying high

In the friendly sky

Without ever leaving the ground

And I ain't seen nothing

But trouble, baby

Nobody really understands, no, no

And I go to the place

Where good feelin' awaits me

Self-destruction's

In my hand

[Verse 5]

Oh Lord

So stupid minded

Oh, Lord I go crazy

When I can't find it

Well I know

I'm hooked my friend

To the boy

Who makes slaves out of men

And oh, believe me

Flying high

In a friendly sky

Oh baby, flyin'

[Verse 6]

Flying high

In a friendly sky
