Adrian Belew - Fly lyrics

rate me

I know I should feel welcome here

Way up in the atmosphere

But I am afraid

And if I land on earth again

I'll be happy just to cut my face

While I shave

Now the sky is floating by

But I am not a cloud

And I've decided

I was not designed to fly

After allI'm only sand

To irritate the oyster and

To wait for a pearl

And even though I must concede

Greatness has eluded me

I'd still miss the world

And I would have regrets

Were I to pirouette inside a metal jet

And I am not prepared

To sprout a pair of wings and fly
