Grow Wings and Fly

8 plays

Phantom Island

Bye-bye, Shanghai

Bye-bye, Shanghai

Bye-bye, Shanghai

Grow wings and fly

Let's get real high

Let's get real high

Let's get real high

Transcend this life


I wanna drink from the beehive

I wanna jump from the tight wire

Like a moth into a fire

I'm gonna burn up on the pyre

Well, it's love at first sight

Moonstruck on these nights

Sing a swan song on a lyre

Fly away one last time, yeah


When I first saw you

Lying there in wait

With your unearthed, buried smile

I sing to my duckling

Yes, you must learn to use your wings

But it is I that will be taught by you to fly


The distorted view from my misty window

Has a thin ray of light that's got a peaking crescendo

The moon is a clock face that's tick, tick, ticking with a crooked smile

We're all in the rat race, together, we go the extra mile

Knock the surrounding buildings down, I'm calling out for help

I'm shedding my skin like a snake slithering

You gotta stop the overwhelming self-doubt

Catch me dancing in the summer rain with my tongue out

Woohoo!

Yeah! (Ow!)
