VERSE:
Young Rico you know he could really drink his gin
He use to dream of rainbows, so he could find his shelter deep within
Born and raised in the city slums
To help him along that boy would tote his gun
To help him fly to the top of the sky
CHORUS:
To the top of the sky yeah, Rico wanted to fly
Yeah that boy had to make it to the top
To the top of the sky yeah, Rico was dreaming high
VERSE:
Then there was sweet Lila, Rico?s only friend
A blonde bar-maid, ?she worked? right were Spanish Harlem ends
Now she?s a southern child, who believes in her man
Together they made a vow, to leave these Bad Lands
So together they?d fly to the top of the sky
CHORUS:
To the top of the sky yeah, they both wanted to fly
Yeah Lila he?ll take you to the top
To the top of the sky yeah, they both were dreaming high
VERSE:
Then said Lila, she said Rico please don?t you leave my side
I know tonight something?s just not right outside
But as Rico dressed, he said hay babe; life is so damn strange
Ooh the world is but a stage and all things must change
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is still a mystery; Yeah and
SHOT DOWN COLD! On the street near Lila?s place, ?Poor Rico?
Her teardrops warmly falling down on his face
For one last time Rico looked in her eyes
He said, my lover now-now don?t you cry
I found my wings they were deep inside
Excuse me right now, while I fly to the top of the sky. Yeah!
CHORUS:
To the top of the sky yeah, Rico he got to fly
Yeah that boy finally made it to the top
To the top of the sky now, Rico he?s flying high
I said now Lila, Lila, Lila don?t you cry
To the top of the sky yeah, Rico he got to fly
Yeah that boy finally made it to the top
To the top of the sky now, Rico he?s flying high
I said now Lila, Lila, Lila don?t you cry
Oh yeah, yeah, that boy he?s flying high. ©
