Lyrics

Fly

Danny always felt
He could be so much more
Other than some factory
Paycheck – working whore

Danny always said
One day he’d leave it all behind
Hit the road to Memphis
Open a life bottled up inside

Making life worthwhile
For Dan was just a state of mind
Fragile as a child’s dream
Hungry as the wild

He was just a fly
Stuck between two window panes
Trapped between the two worlds
And staring out in vain

Danny never left
His factory life behind
Memphis just grew distant
With the passing of his time

One wife and two kids
A divorce along the way
Danny never questioned
Any choices that he made

Making life worthwhile
For Dan was just a state of mind
He retired with his pension
And then he died at 69

Making life worthwhile
Is just a state of mind
Fragile as a child’s dream
Hungry as the wild
