Flying

(album: UFO 2: Flying - 1971)

Have you ever had the time to see
Me and you could change to be
Take a dream away with you
Live it now and you will see

Found myself on an open road
Got no hand to show the way
Upped and started walking on
To a land seemed so far away

After so long, I felt I was damned
Then I reached some gates and held a hand
But came to the point of sing and say
Laughing people led me in to stay

Their happiness held me strong
I felt this is where I belong
I don't want another day
Just wanna laugh, live, sing, and say!

It's so strange I feel this way!
It's so real, it's happening today!
Stop still, something burns!
My body falls, I begin to turn!

Flying, drifting, falling down
I found myself beneath the ground
In a place so strange to me
The earth is black and there's not a tree

Well it's so dark, there's not a sound
Just the feeling of wanting to be found
I must make haste to be gone
In this place I do not belong

I thought I tried to move afoot
I just remained where I stood
And in the distance, I heard aloud
The shrill of blank, deathly sound

I tried, I tried, I tried to run
But every move I was where I begun
It's too late, shadows over me
Blind my eyes, I cannot see!

All my strength, all my love!
Someone help me, please above!
Death will surely take me down!
I'll be doomed to live beneath the ground!

You see your tomb, you see you're one
You fool, you fool, your life's just begun
I'm here to taunt and torment you!

I can make you do what I want you to
Black it out and drag you down
All kinds of evil will wear a crown
Chase you, rape you, feast upon your hurt!
Lay your body in the dirt!
If I were a fool, I'd believe it's true!
But I have no fear of what you can do!

See I'm free, I can be
Just anyone that I want to be
Leave me now, get out my way!

You see your tomb, you see you're one
You fool, you fool, your life's just begun
I'm here to taunt and torment you!

I can make you do what I want you to
Black it out and drag you down
All kinds of evil will wear a crown
Chase you, rape you, feast upon your hurt!
Lay your body in the dirt!
If I were a fool, I'd believe it's true!
But I have no fear of what you can do!

See I'm free, just leave me alone
I wanna go my way and be alone
Get out my sights, get out my day!

I'm not you and I'm not one
You're the fool, my life's not begun
I'll taunt you and I'll torment you!

Have this way with a dream
Never leave me, so it seems
Life by night, life by day
The tale they tell will always stay

Walk the earth, you walk the skies
Don't let all this time go by
Hang on fast, don't let go
Or someone else will never know

Ride a road along with me
Chase a dream we all can see
Don't let bad, just see good
It's all that just what you should

No truth will ever come along
Shine so bright in your eyes
No wide wonder will do that for you
Just lock it fast, do what you got to do!

Shout it loud, shout out loud!
Just live how you want to be!
Show yourself, show yourself!
Just live how you got to be!

"Tho' I've belted you an' flayed you, by the living God that made you, you're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!"
"Yes. We know. It's all been done before"
