Flying high in the friendly sky   Without ever leavin' the ground   Rest of the folks are tired and weary   And have laid their bodies down, oh yeah      I go to the place where danger awaits me   And it's bound to forsake me   So stupid minded, oh, so stupid minded   But I go crazy when I can't find it      In the morning, I'll be alright, my friend   But soon the night will bring the pains   The pain, oh the pain      Flying high in the friendly sky, oh Lord   Without ever leaving the ground   And I ain't seen nothing but trouble baby   Nobody really understands, no, no      And I go to the place where good feelin' awaits me   Self destruction's in my hand   Oh Lord, so stupid minded   Oh Lord, Lord I go crazy when I can't find it      Well I know I'm hooked my friend   To the boy who makes slaves out of men   Oh, believe me oh      Flyin' high in a friendly sky   Oh baby   Flyin' high in a friendly sky
