Lyrics
I went flyin' out of my window
I went flyin' out of my window
Been caught doin' it once or twice
But it feels so real nice
Oh, it feels so real nice
Saw the earth and I saw the sky
Saw the earth and I saw the sky
Been caught doin' it once or twice
But it feels so real nigh
Oh, it feels so real nigh
Oh, it feels so real nigh
Went to school with them boring teachers
Who thought they was all my preachers
So I went starin' out of my window
I went starin' out of my window
Been caught doin' it once or twice
But it feels so real nice
Oh, it feels so real nice
Oh, it feels so real nice
That I might even do it again
One of them took me with him to sleep
Said not to make a peep
Said it'll be a secret we keep
So I didn't make a peep
Kissed my cheek and rubbed my feet
But his kissin' didn't taste so sweet
Told him I just wanted to sleep
So he got mad
And he got madder
And he got maddest of them all
Sent me flyin' out of his window
Sent me flyin' out of his window
Not caught once, not caught twice
And I've been flyin' ever since
And I've been flyin' in the sky
I've been flyin' ever since
And I've been flyin' in the sky
I've been flyin' ever since
And I've been flyin' in the sky
I've been flyin' ever since
And I've been flyin' in the sky
I've been flyin' ever since
And I've been flyin' in the sky
I've been flyin' ever since
And I've been flyin' in the sky
I've been flyin' ever since
And I've been flyin' in the sky
I've been flyin' ever since
Flyin' in the sky
I've been flyin' ever since
Flyin' in the sky
I've been flyin' ever since
I've been flyin' in the sky
I've been flyin' ever since
I've been flyin' in the sky
I've been flyin' ever since
And I've been flyin' in the sky
And I've been flyin' ever since
