Fear Of Falling

Badlees

Last night I dreamt of flying



Over hillsides in the snow



And I dove down through the clouds



Into the valley there below



When the fields turned into parking lots



My freedom turned to dread



The ground rose up to greet me



And I jumped up out of bed



You can fly, fly, fly



Off to anywhere you choose



You can try, try, try



But eventually you'll lose



It seems there's always something



Tryin' to bring a good man down



I have no fear of falling



But I hate hitting the ground



Searchin' through my sofa



tryin' to find some extra change



I thought that I knew everything



'Til everything changed



Now I'm standing on an island



That is sinking into the sea



And all that I can do



Is just enjoy the scenery



Well you can fly, fly, fly



Off to anywhere you choose



you can try, try, try



But eventually you'll lose



They say a man hears sweet, soft music



Just before he drowns



I have no fear of falling



But I hate hitting the ground



You and I have politics



There's lines that we don't cross



And we live happily ever after



Inside this little box



But you just can't take a lion



And throw him into a cage



And expect him to be thankful



For the shelter that you gave



Well you can fly, fly, fly



Off to anywhere you choose



you can try, try, try



But eventually you'll lose



The more you try to cling to me



The less I'll stick around



I have no fear of falling



But I hate hitting the ground
