Lyrics for Grow Wings and Fly

Bye-bye, Shanghai Bye-bye, Shanghai Bye-bye, Shanghai Grow wings and fly Let's get real high Let's get real high Let's get real high Transcend this life I wanna drink from the beehive I wanna jump from the tight wire Like a moth into a fire I'm gonna burn up on the pyre Well, it's love at first sight Moonstruck on these nights Sing a swan song on a lyre Fly away one last time, yeah When I first saw you Lying there in wait With your unearthed, buried smile I sing to my duckling Yes, you must learn to use your wings But it is I that will be taught by you to fly The distorted view from my misty window Has a thin ray of light that's got a peaking crescendo The moon is a clock face that's tick, tick, ticking with a crooked smile We're all in the rat race, together, we go the extra mile Knock the surrounding buildings down, I'm calling out for help I'm shedding my skin like a snake slithering You gotta stop the overwhelming self-doubt Catch me dancing in the summer rain with my tongue out Whoo-hoo! Yeah! Aw!
