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 (oh Lord)
So stupid minded (I can't help it)
I can't help it, 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 pain
Oh, the pain

Flying high in the friendly sky
Flyin' high without ever leaving the ground
Oh Lord, and I ain't seen nothing but trouble, baby
Oh Lord, nobody really understands, no, no

And I go to the place where good feelin' awaits me
Self-destruction in my hand
Oh Lord
So stupid minded
Oh, I go crazy when I can't find it (help me)

Well, I know that I'm hooked, my friend
To the boy who makes slaves out of men
Oh, believe me

Flying high in the friendly sky
Flyin' high
Flyin' high
Ooh, baby
Ooh, baby
