Tragically Hip - Fly lyrics

rate me

Seventy days to cross the ocean

Seventy nights where no one’s gonna hear me fall

Freddie Mercury, “I’ve sometimes wished

I’d never been born at all”

I remain unphotographed yea

I don’t exaggerate my intelligence

I might turn a broom into a tree

But I’ll never be one of them

I fly, cause there’s no why in getting beaten up by

a guy who cries before he fights

I don’t want em to see me like this

The way they like to kick people when their down

You said, ‘please stop worrying bout this

They stop kicking once you’re down’

There’s Mistaken Point, Newfoundland

There’s Moonbeam, Ontari-ari-o

There are places I’ve never been

and always wanted to go

I fly, cause woe betide a guy who just lives to fight

Fly, love is to try and die trying

Fly, yea, that’s right

Fly, yea, that’s right

Try, love is to try and die trying

Coastline rising out of the ocean

Coastline rises like a pair of glowing thighs

Theres something down deep inside me says,

‘Where ya been all my life.’

Fly, turn your back, get your face in the sky

Fly, love is to try and die trying

Try, left and right, across your mind

Try, love is to try and die trying
