Song Lyrics

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
Yeah-yeah, oh yeah
I go the place where danger awaits me
Oh Lord
And it's bound to forsake me (ooh Lord)
So stupid minded
I can't help it
Oh, so stupid minded
But I go crazy when I can't find it
In the morning, I'll be alright, my friend (oh Lord)
But soon the night will bring the pains
The pain, oh the pain

Flying high in the friendly sky, oh Lord
Without ever leaving the ground
Yeah-yeah
And I ain't seen nothing but trouble baby
Nobody really understands, no no (help me, somebody)
And I go to the place where good feelin' awaits me
Self-destruction's in my hand
Oh Lord, so stupid minded (can you help me? Can you help?)
Oh Lord, I go crazy when I can't find it (help me)
Well I know, I'm hooked, my friend (got to help me)
To the boy who makes slaves out of men (got to help me)
Oh-oh believe me
Flying high in a friendly sky
Oh baby, flyin' high

Ooh-hoo
Ooh-hoo
Flyin' high, in a friendly sky
