| [00:06.95] |
I'm flying down deserted streets |
| [00:10.06] |
Wrapped in mother's winding sheets |
| [00:12.47] |
Asbestos boots on flaming feet |
| [00:15.43] |
Dreaming of forbidden treats |
| [00:17.97] |
When uniforms on nighttime beats |
| [00:20.33] |
Ask me where I'm going and what I eat |
| [00:23.58] |
I answer them with a voice so sweet |
| [00:26.59] |
I can't come down, it's plain to see |
| [00:29.20] |
I can't come down, I've been set free |
| [00:32.15] |
Who you are and what you do don't make no difference to me |
| [00:44.01] |
Well someone trying to tell me where it's at |
| [00:47.09] |
How I do this and why I do that |
| [00:49.21] |
With secret smiles like a Chesire cat |
| [00:52.74] |
And little wings like a vampire bat |
| [00:54.75] |
I fly away to my cold water flat |
| [00:57.63] |
And eat my way to a bone of fat |
| [01:00.68] |
And I say to the man with the funny hat |
| [01:03.77] |
I can't come down, it's plain to see |
| [01:06.51] |
I can't come down, I've been set free |
| [01:09.59] |
Who you are and what you do don't make no difference to me |
| [01:21.77] |
They say I've begun to lose my grip |
| [01:24.74] |
My hold on reality is starting to slip |
| [01:28.01] |
Tell me to get off this trip |
| [01:30.57] |
They say that it's like a sinking ship |
| [01:33.23] |
Life's sweet wine's too warm to sip |
| [01:35.76] |
And if I drink I'll surely flip |
| [01:38.83] |
I just say as I take a nip |
| [01:41.58] |
I can't come down, it's plain to see |
| [01:44.47] |
I can't come down, I've been set free |
| [01:47.51] |
Who you are and what you do don't make no difference to me |
| [01:59.68] |
So, as I dream of cotton seas |
| [02:02.72] |
And granite halls and redwood trees |
| [02:05.04] |
An ugly eye that only sees |
| [02:08.46] |
Endless mirrors and infinite me's |
| [02:11.27] |
About the winter's coming freeze |
| [02:13.52] |
This afterthought I say with ease |
| [02:16.48] |
To all of you who made your pleas |
| [02:19.43] |
I can't come down, it's plain to see |
| [02:22.19] |
I can't come down, I've been set free |
| [02:25.20] |
Who you are and what you do don't make no difference to me |
