Janis Ian Fly Too High Lyrics

Fly Too High Lyrics

Anonymous autonomous will likely get the best of us yet

Before you
disappear if you can lend me half an ear, I'll regret

If I treat you like
a number 

It's because I can't remember your name, mmm

So have
another cigarette and help me to forget why I came



Run too fast,
fly-y too high, Run too fast, fly too high



On dark and lonely
nights I'm only right when things are bright on the floor

Dancin' and
romancin', gallivanting with a handsome I score

And 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 sure



You run too fast,
fly-y too high, Run too fast, fly to high-igh-igh

You got no past, no
goodbyes, You run too fast, and you fly too high



Would you believe
I was once gonna be somebody-y-y-y

I packed up my bags and I took what I
had to the city-y-y-y

Man it was rough to find the best I could be

Waitin' for the limit on a colour TV

Now I've made it this far, Got a
room on the park and a view

Brand new, Fly too high

Full Boar
version ends here, Night Rains version continues:



Run too fast,
Fly too high, Run too fast, Fly too high



Hanging around on the
infield, what do you steal

But another feel at the top

Making
believe in the long run, when a shotgun

Is the way to get out of the
shop

Hang tail in a new jail, You can go bail

You can dance until
you drop

'Cause there's no fool like an old fool, in a new school

You just can't stop



Run too fast, fly-y too high

You run
too fast, fly-y too high-igh-igh

Run too fast, fly-y too high, mmm-mmm

Run too fast, fly to high  (fade)
