[Intro] [Scatting and harmonizing] [Chorus] Flyin' high, woo Flyin' high in the friendly sky Flyin' high, without ever leavin' the ground, no [Verse 1] Rest of the folks are tired and weary And have laid their bodies down, yeah I go to the place where danger awaits me And it's bound to forsake me So stupid-minded Oh, so stupid-minded But I go crazy when I can't find it -- not too loud In the morning, I'll be alright, my friend Soon the night will bring the pain Pain, awful pain [Chorus] Flyin' high in the friendly sky, ah Without ever leaving the ground, yeah [Verse 2] Well, I ain't seen nothing but trouble, baby, wee-hoo Nobody really understands -- help me somebody Well, I go to the place where this feelin' awaits me Self destruction in my hand Oh Lord, so stupid-minded Oh, so stupid-minded But I go crazy when I can't find it Well, I know I'm hooked, my friend To the boy who makes slaves out of men Oh oh, woo hoo hoo, ooh [Chorus] Flyin' high in the friendly sky, hey Ooh hoo hoo, hoo Wee-hoo, woo-hoo Flyin' high in the friendly sky, woo-hoo
