concrete jungle

I want to be on a parachute flying
High above these city lights
I want to be on an aeroplane gliding
High above these stars so bright

And I’m flying
Flying so high
So very high
Up in the sky

Don’t know why
I can’t get you off of my mind
And these buildings all scraping the sky
Are drowning me here on the concrete
In the midst of the jungle
I’m dying
Dying so I can be flying

I want to be on a boat that is sailing
Far into the great blue abyss
I want to be on a long, skinny railing
Sliding down to you, awaiting that kiss

And I’m flying
Flying so high
So very high
Up in the sky

Don’t know why
I can’t get you off of my mind
And these buildings all scraping the sky
Are drowning me here on the concrete
In the midst of the jungle
I’m dying
Dying so I can be flying


I want to be in your arms where I’ll soar
Into the anything, everything more
That is waiting for us in the great blue unknown
You and me, forever together alone
In the blue of the sky and the sky of the sea
I’ll be with you and you’ll be with me
For the rest of eternity


Don’t know why
I can’t get you off of my mind
And these buildings all scraping the sky
Are drowning me here on the concrete
In the midst of the jungle

Don’t know why
I can’t get you off of my mind
And these buildings all scraping the sky
Are drowning me here on the concrete
In the midst of the jungle
I’m dying
Dying so I can be flying

I want to be in a parachute flying
Flying away on a blustery day
‘Cause I’m flying.
