He could have tuned in

Tuned in, but he tuned out

A bad time, nothing could save him

Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out

He got up out of there

Ran for hundreds of miles

He made it to the ocean

Had a smoke in a tree

The wind rose up

Set him down on his knee

Wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw

Delivered him wings: Hey, look at me now

Arms wide open with the sea as his floor

Oh, oh, ooh

He's

Flying!

Woah!

High!

Wide!

Whole!

He floated back down

'Cause he wanted to share

His key to the locks on the chains

He saw everywhere

But first he was stripped

And then he was stabbed

By faceless men, well fuckers

He still stands

And he still gives his love

He just gives it away

The love he receives

Is the love that is saved

And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky

A human being that was given to fly

Flying!

Woah!

High!

Flying!

Woah!

He is

Flying!

Woah!

Oh

Woah!

Woah!
