Lyrics

I'm up to the eyes and I love everyone
Today I could cry, I could reach for the sun
I'm walking on air and I'm here and I'm there
I travel the sky, but for what I don't care
Fly me straight and fly me high
Fly me straight and fly me high
I'm up and I'm down and I'm gone, I'm around
I'm driving along with no wheels on the ground
Hang on to me tight 'cause it doesn't last long
A few hours more and it'll be gone
Fly me straight and fly me high
Fly me straight and fly me high
I leave you behind on the streets in the gloom
I'm up here alone and there's plenty of room
You won't see me, I'll see you, I'm too fast
Whoops! Here I come, now I'm gone, now I'm past
Fly me straight and fly me high
Fly me straight and fly me high
I'm up to the eyes and I love everyone
Today I could cry, I could reach for the sun
I'm walking on air and I'm here and I'm there
I travel the sky, but for what I don't care
Fly me straight and fly me high
Fly me straight and fly me high
