{Album Notes}

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, yeah, yeah

Oh yeah, I go the place where danger awaits me, oh Lord
And it's bound to forsake me so stupid minded
I can't help it, oh yeah, 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 pains
The pain, oh the pain

Flying high in the friendly sky, oh
Without ever leaving the ground, yeah, yeah
And I ain't seen nothing but trouble, baby
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, and I go crazy when I can't find it

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

Flying high in the friendly sky
Oh baby, flyin'
Flying high in the friendly sky
