I'm not a rat to be spat on
Locked up in this room
Those bars that look towards the sun
At night look towards the moon
Everyday the swallows play
In the clouds of love
Make me wish that I had wings
Take me high above
And I looked high
Saw the empty sky
If I could only
Could only fly
I'd drift with them in endless space
But no man flies from this place
At night I lay upon my bench
And stare towards the stars
The cold night air comes creeping in
And home seems, oh, so far
If only I could swing
Upon those twinkling dots above
I'd look down from the heavens
Upon the ones I love
And I looked high
Saw the empty sky
If I could only
I could only fly
I'd drift with them in endless space
But no man flies from this place
Fly
And I looked high
And saw the empty sky
If I could only
Could only fly
I'd drift with them in endless space
But no man ever flies from this place
Yeah
Hey
The lucky locket
Hangs around your precious neck
Some luck I ever got with you
And I wouldn't like to bet
That sooner or later you'll own
Just one half of this land
By shining your eyes
On the wealth of every man, yeah
And I looked high
And saw the empty sky
If I could only
I could only fly
I'd drift with them in endless space
But no man flies from this place
Fly on
Just send up my love
Ain't seen nothing but tears
Now I've got myself
In this room for years
I don't see no one
I never see anyone
Anyone, ah, yeah
Oh
Woo-hoo-hoo
Woo-hoo-hoo
Oh, ho, ho
I want you to shh
I want you to shh
Woo, yeah
I said get down with it, babe
I want you to shh
Right down now
Right down now
I want you to shh
Ah
Oh, get on now
Get on up now
