Lyrics
0:06I'm flying down deserted streets
0:09Wrapped in mother's wine and sheets
0:12Asbestos boots on flaming feet
0:15Dreaming of forbidden treats
0:17When uniforms on nighttime beats
0:20Ask me where I'm going and what I eat
0:23I answer them with a voice so sweet
0:26I can't come down
0:27It's plain to see
0:29I can't come down
0:30I've been set free
0:32Who you are and what you do
0:34Don't make no difference to me
0:44Well someone's trying to tell me where it's at
0:47How I do this and why I do that
0:49With secret smiles like a Cheshire Cat
0:52And leather wings like a vampire bat
0:55I fly away to my cold water flat
0:58And eat my way to a bone of fat
1:01And I say to the man with the funny hat
1:04I can't come down
1:05It's plain to see
1:07I can't come down
1:08I've been set free
1:10Who you are and what you do
1:12Don't make no difference to me
1:22They say I'll be good to lose my grip
1:25My hold on reality is starting to slip
1:28Tell me to get off this trip
1:31They say that it's like a sinking ship
1:34Life's sweet wine is too warm to sip
1:36And if I drink I'll surely flip
1:39I just say as I take a nip
1:42I can't come down
1:44It's plain to see
1:45I can't come down
1:46I've been set free
1:48Who you are and what you do
1:50Don't make no difference to me
2:00So as I dream of cotton seas
2:03And granite halls and redwood trees
2:06An ugly eye that only sees
2:09Endless mirrors and infinite me's
2:12And about the winter's coming freeze
2:14This afterthought I say with ease
2:17To all of you who made your fees
2:20I can't come down
2:22It's plain to see
2:23I can't come down
2:25I've been set free
2:26Who you are and what you do
2:29Don't make no difference to me
I'm flying down deserted streets Wrapped in mother's wine and sheets Asbestos boots on flaming feet Dreaming of forbidden treats When uniforms on nighttime beats Ask me where I'm going and what I eat I answer them with a voice so sweet I can't come down It's plain to see I can't come down I've been set free Who you are and what you do Don't make no difference to me Well someone's trying to tell me where it's at How I do this and why I do that With secret smiles like a Cheshire Cat And leather wings like a vampire bat I fly away to my cold water flat And eat my way to a bone of fat And I say to the man with the funny hat I can't come down It's plain to see I can't come down I've been set free Who you are and what you do Don't make no difference to me They say I'll be good to lose my grip My hold on reality is starting to slip Tell me to get off this trip They say that it's like a sinking ship Life's sweet wine is too warm to sip And if I drink I'll surely flip I just say as I take a nip I can't come down It's plain to see I can't come down I've been set free Who you are and what you do Don't make no difference to me So as I dream of cotton seas And granite halls and redwood trees An ugly eye that only sees Endless mirrors and infinite me's And about the winter's coming freeze This afterthought I say with ease To all of you who made your fees I can't come down It's plain to see I can't come down I've been set free Who you are and what you do Don't make no difference to me
