Michael Nesmith - Flying lyrics

Silks and satins and velvet soft evenings and penthouse nights Way down below me, the maze of the city streets shine I hear the soul and the heart of the city, it pounds While I fly up here, I'm two thousand feet above ground It happened tonight, I had to do it or die It happened tonight, I finally learned how to fly And so diving and soaring and swirling, I fly like the wind How did I do it? I wouldn't even know where to begin I was playing a solo on my electric guitar And the next thing I know, I'm sailing around through the air It just happened tonight, I had to do it or die It happened tonight, I finally learned how to fly I'm flying! I'm flying! I'm flying! What more can I say? It's a thrill beyond words, it completely captures the day And so now I'll go flying as well as go dancing all night I feel like a feather, I feel like a small beam of light It just happened tonight, I had to do it or die It happened tonight, I finally learned how to fly I'm flying! I'm flying! I'm flying! I'm flying! I'm flying! I'm flying! I'm flying! I'm flying! I'm flying! I'm flying!
