Flight Of Icarus

As the sun breaks, above the ground,
An old man stands on the hill,
As the ground warms, to the first rays of light
A birdsong shatters the still.

His eyes are a blaze,
See the madman in his gaze.

Fly, on your way, like an eagle,
Fly as high as the sun,
On your way, like an eagle,
Fly and touch the sun.

Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
Looks the old man in the eye
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
In the name of God my father I'll fly.

His eyes seem so glazed
As he flies on the wings of a dream,
Now he knows his father betrayed
Now his wings turn to ashes to ashes his grave.

Fly, on your way, like an eagle,
Fly as high as the sun,
On your way, like an eagle,
Fly, touch the sun.

If you're lookin' for someone that you can keep
Well, baby pass me by.
And if you want something that's twenty years deep
Baby, don't even try.
But if you want someone to take your soul
Maybe lift you a little bit higher...
I got the fire
Just 'cuz I'm skinny, don't you sell me cheap
I'm as long as a country mile.
Well some like it wide and some like it deep
And guess which one's my style!
If you think you can beat me at my own game
Well baby, I say you're a liar.
Well, I got the fire
