Learn to Fly

To the left to me a striped fence To me, this all does not make sense What's two when all you need is one? Who's to blame for the empty gun? If all tears from the sky Why do they fall from your eye? Leave a sparkle that you see in dreams What's to come when the grass don't turn green? It's runnin' fast, cannot slow Sittin', wonderin' where I'll go Driftin' head and lazy eyes Hold me, Mama, as I learn to fly on my own And if it tastes too good, it could be a lie You ain't the apple of your mama's eye Who needs a moon for the light? Flip a switch and we're back to life Now what's in the air? Who's on the street? And who's the pretty girl glaring at me? Why's the sun shinin' off her hair? Why now do I seem to care? It's runnin' fast, it cannot slow Sittin', wonderin' where I'll go Driftin' head and lazy eyes Hold me, Mama, as I learn to fly on my own Now shake a left or take a right Hope that there's no one in sight Do shadows really dance and gleam? They all look pretty damn dark to me And if times the only thing I'd say we're in While we're fightin' 'til the bitter end Cashin' in everything we know Does dying rich determine where we go? It's runnin' fast, it cannot slow Sittin', wonderin' where I'll go Driftin' head and lazy eyes Hold me, Mama, as I learn to fly It's runnin' fast, it cannot slow Sittin', wonderin' where I'll go Driftin' head and lazy eyes Hold me, Mama, as I learn to fly on my own On my own Darlin', on my own Darlin', on my own, yeah
