lyrics

i’m flying forth • flying free into ANother weather flying from the way • i wander from i’m looking deep into the SOUL of disillusion • i AM reaching for 1 reason to sing PROUD i’m dropping dreams in2 a hole wishing well as they plop way down there at the bottom • OF All sound AND i DO know running WATER leads down HILL • recedingFAR beyond profound i’m flying foward UN • tethered toward better then it ever seems 2B B4 it’s gone i’m flying free • flying north • heading toward the war i am fleeing into HELL • way UNDERground i’m knowing that the sun comes round to shine down on us ALL and keep us warm from harm SO brief in time BUT 4 now we warm up2 the fire • with FAMILY Television hour • OUR BRIEf escape i’m flying over clover • floating Up above this summer LOVE is in the air so sweet2breathe i’m flying free KNOWing no one KNOWing nothing feeling fortune 2 have ANYthing 2B i’m sleeping later living longer playing THE good soldier dreaming of ANADAN and ANEVA or i’m like a bear cranky as the weather that’s been raining lately there or i’m like a bear cranky as the weather that’s been raining lately HERE i KNOW my FAME KNOW my NAME • is just a figment i imagine 4 2 day to keep me SAfE i’m going forth 4ward 2 the north stuck true2 course smiling un2 U • from under grace if left alone to my disgrace i’ll lay back down onto the face 2SMILE if left alone to this disgrace i’ll lay back down but UP 2FACE the lOVE
