Kongos - Fly Lyrics

You've got that look in your eye
Like you came out of the ashes
You've been up in the sky
Looking for some matches

So you say you want a pyramid
You're gonna need some stones for that
Because in Babylon
Everyone becomes one for stepping on
When you're trying to get to the headstone

Can I tell you a secret
I think you were a friend of mine
You took the rest that you needed
But you came back in the nick of time

Can I tell you a secret
I think you were a friend of mine
You've got the eyes of a Phoenix
I'll see you on the other side
I'll see you on the other side

If you want it to fly
You gotta put some wings on it
If you want it it to burn
You gotta put some fire on it

If you want it to fly
You gotta put some wings on it
You got that look in your eye
I'll see you on the other side
I'll see you on the other side
Fly

Since the beginning of time
I've wondered who I am
You made a loop of a straight line
Now I got no sense of the timespan

So I said I want a pyramid
I'm gonna need some help with that
Because in Babylon
Anyone can talk another
Into seeing light coming off of the headstone

Can I tell you a secret
If you want it to fly
