Learning to Fly - Pink Floyd

Well it started out Down a dirty road. Started out All alone. And the sun went down As I crossed the hill. And the town lit up, And the world got still. I'm learnin' to fly, But I ain't got wings. Comin' down Is the hardest thing. Well the good ol' days May not return. And the rocks might melt, And the sea may burn. I'm learnin' to fly, But I ain't got wings. Comin' down Is the hardest thing. Well some say life Will beat you down, And break your heart, Steal your crown. So it started out For God-knows-where. I guess I'll know When I get there. I'm learning to fly Around the clouds. What goes up Must come down. I'm learnin to fly But I ain't got wings. Comin' down Is the hardest thing. I'm learnin' to fly Around the clouds. But what goes up Must come down. I'm learnin' to fly. I'm learnin' to fly.

The hour is early The whole world is quiet A beautiful morning's about to ignite I'm ready for danger I'm ready for fire I'm ready for something to lift me up higher Life's been good, I guess My ragged old heart's been blessed With so much more than meets the eye I've got a past I won't soon forget You ain't seen nothing yet I'm still learning how to fly It's your dreams that die hard With these habits to break You can't let down your guard When there's so much at stake I'm halfway to heaven, halfway to hell But I might roll a seven You never can tell Life's been good it's true When I'm feeling just like new The same old rules need not apply I've got a past full of sticks and stones And a good feeling in my bones I'm still learning how to fly I wanna go faster I don't wanna slow down I don't wanna get off of this merrygoround I wanna be reckless I wanna be vain I wanna make love like a runaway train Life's been good I said I'm 10, 000 miles ahead The day I rest is the day I die I've got a past like a broken wing But you ain't seen anything I'm still learning how to fly I'm still learning how to fly

Last night I had too much to drink Sitting in a club with so many fools Playing to rules Trying to impress but feeling rather empty I had another drink (Drink - a - drink - a - drink - a - drink, ah) What a way to spend that evening They all turn up with their friends Playing the game But in the scene I should've been Far away (Away - away - away - away - away) Getting up, I feel as if I'm remembering this scene before I open the door to an empty room Then I forget The telephone rings and someone speaks She would very much like to go out to a show So what can I do? I can't think what to say She sees through anyway (Away - away - away - away - away) Out of the front door I go Traffic's moving rather slow Arriving late, there she waits Looking very angry, as cross as she can be Be - a - be - a - be - a - be - a - be Getting up, I feel as if I'm remembering this scene before I open the door to an empty room Then I forget Ah, Ah
