King Gizzard - Grow Wings And Fly Lyrics

      

Grow Wings and Fly
by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard

Intro: Stu Mackenzie
Bye bye Shanghai
Bye bye Shanghai
Bye bye Shanghai
Grow wings and fly

 Let’s get real high
Let’s get real high
Let’s get real high
Transcend this life

Verse 1: Stu Mackenzie
I wanna drink from the beehive
I wanna jump from the tight wire
Like a moth into a fire
I'm gonna burn up on the pyre

 Well, it's love at first sight
Moonstruck on these nights
Sing a swan song on a lyre
Fly away one last time, yeah

Verse 2: Joe Walker
When I first saw you
Lying there in wait
With your unearthed buried smile
I sing to my duckling

 Yes, you must learn to use your wings
But it is I that will be taught by you to fly

Verse 3: Ambrose Kenny-Smith
The distorted view from a misty window
As a thin ray of light, it's got a beacon crescendo
The moon is a clock face that's tick, tick, ticking with a crooked smile
We’re all in the rat race together, we go the extra mile

 Knock the surrounding buildings down
I'm calling out for help
I'm shedding my skin
Like a snake slithering

 You gotta stop the overwhelming self-doubt
Catch me dancing in the summer rain with my tongue out
Woohoo!
Yeah!
