Janis Ian — Fly Too High

[Verse 1] 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 So have another cigarette And help me to forget why I came [Chorus] Run too fast, fly too high Run too fast, fly too high [Verse 2] On dark and lonely nights I'm only right When things are bright on the floor Dancing and romancing 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 [Chorus] You run too fast, fly too high Run too fast, fly too high You got no past, no goodbye Run too fast, and you fly too high [Bridge] Would you believe I was once gonna be somebody? (Yeah) I packed up my bags And I took what I had to the city Man, it was rough to find the best I could be Waiting for the limit on a color TV Now I've made it this far Got a room on the park and a view And you Fly too high [Chorus] Run too fast, fly too high Run too fast, fly too high [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] Run too fast, fly too high You run too fast, fly too high Run too fast, fly too high Run too fast, mmm, fly too high Run too fast, fly too high
