Janis Ian Fly too High Letras:
Anonymous, autonomous,
Will like 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, mmm.
So have another cigarette,
And help me to forget why I came.

Run too fast, fly too high.
Run too fast, fly too high.

[Short instrumental break.]

On dark and lonely nights I'm only right,
When things are bright on the floor.
Dancing and romancing,
Gallivanting with a handsome I scored.

And if you don't believe me, you should,
See me when I'm ready to roar.
'Cause I'll lose my concentration,
With a new infatuation, I'm sure.

You run too fast, fly too high.
Run too fast, fly too high.
You got not past, no goodbye.
You run too fast, and you fly too high.

[Instrumental break.]

Would you believe
I was once gonna be somebody, hey-yeah.
I packed up my bags
[Más Letras en http://es.mp3lyrics.org/7NA]
And I took what I had to the city.

Man it was rough to find the best I could be,
Waitin' for the limit and a color TV.
Now, I've made it this far,
Got a room on the park, and a view ?grand view./and you?

Fly too high.

[Instrumental break.]

Run too fast, fly too high.
You run too fast, fly too high.
[Fade.]
Run too fast, fly too high.
Run too fast, fly too high.

[The following verse is heard on some versions of the song:]

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.

Hang tail in a new jail,
Go bail, you can dance until you drop.
There's no fool like an old fool,
In a new school, you just can't stop.
