[Intro]
[Scatting and harmonizing]

[Chorus]
Flyin' high, woo
Flyin' high in the friendly sky
Flyin' high, without ever leavin' the ground, no

[Verse 1]
Rest of the folks are tired and weary
And have laid their bodies down, yeah
I go to the place where danger awaits me
And it's bound to forsake me
So stupid-minded
Oh, so stupid-minded
But I go crazy when I can't find it -- not too loud
In the morning, I'll be alright, my friend
Soon the night will bring the pain
Pain, awful pain

[Chorus]
Flyin' high in the friendly sky, ah
Without ever leaving the ground, yeah

[Verse 2]
Well, I ain't seen nothing but trouble, baby, wee-hoo
Nobody really understands -- help me somebody
Well, I go to the place where this feelin' awaits me
Self destruction in my hand
Oh Lord, so stupid-minded
Oh, so stupid-minded
But 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, woo hoo hoo, ooh
[Chorus]
Flyin' high in the friendly sky, hey
Ooh hoo hoo, hoo
Wee-hoo, woo-hoo
Flyin' high in the friendly sky, woo-hoo
