Survived tonight, I may be going down 'Cause everything goes 'round too Tight, tonight and as you watch me crawl You stand for more And your panic-stricken blood Will thicken up tonight 'Cause I don't want you to forgive me You'll follow me down You'll follow me down You'll follow me down Survive tonight, I see your head's exposed So we shall kill constructive might It's alright as your emotions fool you My strong will rule And your panic-stricken blood Will thicken up tonight 'Cause I don't want you to forgive me You'll follow me down You'll follow me down You'll follow me down I won't feel restraint Watching you close sense down I can't compensate That's more than I've got to give And your panic-stricken blood Will thicken up tonight 'Cause I don't want you to forgive me You'll follow me down You'll follow me down You'll follow me down 'Cause I don't want you to forgive me You'll follow me down You'll follow me down You'll follow me down Ooh I'm telling ya, man There's some fre, freaky people out there They got some stuff called black dove gisum It's a, something made from mushrooms Taken out of the swampland And they boil it down in a big cauldron And it turns black, and you drink that And you'll be tripping for a really long time Like, yee-haw, do you know what I mean? Some real crazy hallucinations from the swamp

Darkest of night With the moon shining bright There's a set goin' strong Lotta things goin' on The man of the hour Has an air of great power The dudes have envied him for so long Ooh, superfly You're gonna make your fortune by and by But if you lose, don't ask no questions why The only game you know is do or die Ah-ha-ha Hard to understand What a hell of a man This cat of the slum Had a mind, wasn't dumb But a weakness was shown 'Cause his hustle was wrong His mind was his own But the man lived alone Ooh, superfly You're gonna make your fortune by and by But if you lose, don't ask no questions why The only game you know is do or die Ah-ha-ha The game he plays he plays for keeps Hustlin' times and ghetto streets Tryin' ta get over That's what he tryin' to do, y'all Taking all that he can take Gambling with the odds of fate Tryin' to get over Tryin' to get over Tryin' to get over Tryin' to get over Ooh, superfly The aim of his role Was to move a lot of blow Ask him his dream What does it mean? He wouldn't know "Can't be like the rest" Is the most he'll confess But the time's running out And there's no happiness Ooh, superfly You're gonna make your fortune by and by But if you lose, don't ask no questions why The only game you know is do or die Ah-ha-ha Superfly Superfly Superfly Superfly Tryin' to get over Tryin' to get over Tryin' to get over Tryin' to get over Tryin' to get over Tryin' to get over Tryin' to get over Tryin' to get over Tryin' to get over
