Fly Lyrics

Official lyrics for Fly, performed by Adrian Belew.

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 all, i'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
