Fly Lyrics - Adrian Belew

I know I should feel welcome here 

Way up in the atmosphere 

But I am afraid 

And if I land on earth again 

I'll be happy just to cut my face 

While I shave 

Now the sky is floating by 

But I am not a cloud 

And I've decided 

I was not designed to fly 

After all, I'm only sand 

To irritate the oyster and 

To wait for a pearl 

And even though I must concede 

Greatness has eluded me 

I'd still miss the world 

And I would have regrets 

Were I to pirouette inside a metal jet 

And I am not prepared 

To sprout a pair of wings and fly
