lyrics

'Neath the melting sun
You were the Valley's favorite one
In the blacklit night
Underneath electric light.

Did you see the music dancing in their heads?
Did they see it in your eyes?
Did you hear your daddy's voice tell you to fly - but not too high?

Every forever kid had your number in their head
Every neon boy lining up to wind your toy
Every kind of girl danced for you around the world.

Did they rise and fall on every word you said?
Like you were Jesus in the sky?
Did you hear your daddy's voice tell you to fly - but not too high?
He told you not to fly too high
But you fly too high.

Did you see the writing on the hotel wall?
Did you hear it in her lies?
When the boys in New York wouldn't take your calls?
When your friends started to die?
When they finally put the gun up to your head,
Did you see it in their eyes?
Did you hear your daddy's voice tell you to fly but not too high?

He told you not to fly too high.
But you fly too high..
