Flying - The Del Lords

Everybody loves a winner

Until they win too big

Then everybody is ready to bury

They just get out their shovels and dig

I was lonely

Man, I was lonely

I’d pretend I liked it that way

But, I was only a big phony

Till you looked my way

I’m the man up on the high wire

Dancin' blindfolded just above the fire

Ain’t nobody gonna take me down

Cause I am high above this town

I’m flying, a silhouette against the night

Flying, gonna disappear into the night

Into the night, into the night

Got a feeling

A good feeling

Got it all the time

It’s like a little bit of Heaven that I’m stealing

When you’re on my mind

People tell me, «In life

You gotta roll the dice sometimes»

I tell ‘em, «Rollin the dice, well, that’s a way of life

At least it’s always been mine»
