Fly Away

I'm going to buy a ticket on the mystery train
I want to see phenomena that I can't explain
I want to write blue letters on a red letter day
Then I'll fly away, fly away

I want to test the waters, get the lay of the land
I want to take you daughters and make ransom demands
I will demand that you listen to what I have to say
Then I'll fly away, fly away

There must have been something that I could have done
There must have been somewhere that I could have run
There must have been something that I couldn't see
There must have been someone that I couldn't be

I want to take my chances on one roll of the dice
I want to walk on water, maybe walk on thin ice
I want to call my mother and ignore her advice
Then I'll fly away, fly away

Then I'll fly away, fly away

There must have been something that I could have done
There must have been somewhere that I could have run
There must have been something that I couldn't see
There must have been someone that I couldn't be

I want to take this episode with a grain of salt
I want to take my last ten dollars out of the vault
I want to bring reality to a screeching halt
Then I'll fly away, fly away

Then I'll fly away, fly away
Gonna fly away high
Gonna fly away high
Gonna fly away, fly away
