janis ian - fly too high (live) lyrics

[verse 1]
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 why i came

[chorus]
you run too fast, fly too high
run too fast, fly too high

[verse 2]
on dark and lonely nights
i’m only right when things are bright on the floor
i’m dancing and romancing
gallivanting with a handsome i score
and if you don’t believe me
you should see me when i’m ready to roar
i’ll lose my concentration
on a new infatuation i’m sure
[chorus]
you run too fast, fly too high
run too fast, fly too high
you got no past, no goodbye
run too fast, and you fly too high

[bridge]
would you believe
i was once gonna be somebody? (yeah, yeah)
i packed up my bags
and i took what i had to the city (yeah, yeah)
man, it was rough to find the best i could be
was just waiting for the limit on a color tv
now i’ve made it this far
got a room on the park and a view
and you
fly too high

[verse 3]
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
you can hang tail in a new jail
you can go bail
you can dance until you drop
there ain’t no fool like an old fool
in a new school
you just can’t stop
[chorus]
you run too fast, fly too high
run too fast, fly too high
got no past, no goodbye
you run too fast and you fly too high

[outro]
i see, this is ’cause you guys thought we wouldn’t do any old songs. i know.
