Flying high in the friendly sky
Flying high without ever leavin' the ground, no
Rest of the folks are tired and weary
Oh Lord, and have laid their bodies down.

I go the place where danger awaits me
And it's bound to forsake me.
So stupid minded.
I can't help it

Oh yeah, so stupid minded.
But I go crazy when I can't find it,
In the morning, I'll be alright, my friend.
But soon the night will bring the pains,

The pain, oh the pain
Flying high in the friendly sky
Without ever leaving the ground
And I ain't seen nothing but trouble baby

Nobody really understands, no no
And I go to the place where the good feelin' awaits me
Self-destruction in my hand
Oh Lord, so stupid minded

Oh and 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.
And oh believe me

Flying high in a friendly sky
Oh baby, flyin' high
