Fly too High

Song	Fly too High
Artist	Janis Ian
Album	The Bottom Line Encore Collection

	Anonymous, autonomous
	Will likely get the best of us yet
	Before you disappear
	If you can lend me half an ear
	I’ll regret
	If I treat you like a number
	It’s because
	I can’t remember your name
	So have another cigarette
	And help me to forget what
	I cameYou run too fast, fly too high
	Run too fast and fly too high
	On dark and lonely nights
	I’m onlyRight when things are bright on the floor
	Dancing and romancing
	Gallivanting with a handsome
	I scoreAnd if you don’t believe me, you should
	See me when
	I’m ready to roar‘
	Cause I’ll lose my concentration
	With a new infatuation,
	I’m sureYou run too fast, fly too high
	You run too fast, fly too high
	We got no past, no goodbye
	You run to fast and you fly too high
	Would you believe
	I was once gonna be somebody?
	YeahI packed up my bags and
	ITook what
	I had to the city, yeah yeah
	Man, I was rough
	To find the best
	I could be
	Waiting for the limit
	On a color
	TVNow I’ve made it this far
	Got a room on the park and a view
	And youFly too high
	You run too fast, fly too high
	Run too fast, fly too high
	We got no past, no goodbye
	Run to fast and you fly too
	Hanging around on the infield, what do you steal
	But another feel at the top?
	Making believe in the long run, when a shotgun
	Is the way to get out of the shop
	Hang tail in a new jail, you can go bail
	You can dance until you drop‘
	Cause there’s no fool like an old fool in a new school
	You just can’t stop
	You run too fast, fly too high
	Run too fast, fly too high
	Got no past, no goodbye
	Run to fast and you fly too
