FLY AWAY

Verse 1

Down there in tenement town
You could run from roof to roof
Steal twine from laundry lines
And fly kites over the zoo

Monkeys in the cages
Saw the kites in the sky
Made quite a racket
For the zookeeper guy

Chorus:

All I wanted to do was fly away
Grab an ocean liner goin? to Biscayne Bay
Now I look out from the 42nd floor
Working in a plush cage without an exit door

Verse 2

One summer?s day
We snuck a box to the roof
Inside was a model rocket
We were going to launch to the moon

Jimmy wore a fishbowl
Right on his head
We launched that sucker
Starin? at the sun till we all saw red

(repeat chorus)

Bridge

With the pieces of broken dreams
I glue together new toys and scenes
I?ve grown cynical, I?ve grown mean
Grown into someone I never thought I?d be

(repeat chorus)

Got to find an exit door, Looking for an exit door some more...
