Marvin Gaye
Flyin’ High (In The Friendly Sky) (Detroit Mix)
[Verse]
Flyin' high in the friendly sky, flyin' 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
Flyin' high in the friendly sky, oh
Without ever leavin' the ground, yeah, yeah
And I ain't seen nothin' but trouble, baby
Nobody really understands, no no (Help me, somebody)
And I go to the place where good feelin' awaits me
Self destruction in my hand, oh Lord
So stupid-minded (Help me, can you help me?)
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, baby, ooh
Flyin' high in a friendly sky
Oh baby, flyin', ooh ooh, wee ooh
Flyin' high in a friendly sky
