About the Artist
Lyrics
[Verse 1] He could've tuned in, tuned in, but he tuned out A bad time, nothin' could save him Alone in a corridor, waitin', locked out He got up out of there, ran for hundreds of miles He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree The wind rose up, set him down on his knee [Pre-Chorus 1] A wave came crashin' like a fist to the jaw Delivered him wings, "Hey, look at me now" Arms wide open with the sea as his floor Oh [Chorus] He's flyin', whole High, wide, oh [Verse 2] He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share This key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere Oh, but first he was stripped, and then he was stabbed By faceless men, well, fuckers, he still stands [Pre-Chorus 2] And he still gives his love, he just gives it away The love he receives is the love that is saved And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky A human being that was given to fly [Chorus] He's flyin', home High, why? Oh He's flyin', oh He's oh-oh, oh-oh [Spoken Outro] Speaking of "Given to Fly," uh, I don't know if you can see it, but, uh... Well, I know you fuckers on the radio can't see it, so fuck you. But we, uh, the people in the building. These are, I'm wearing the official shoes of Luc Longley, you see. You know who he is, yeah? Uh... these shoes, uh... they're, uh, uh, they're Luc Longley models, apparently Michael Jordan made famous but, uh... And, uh... anyways, I'm, I'm gonna say- we're gonna change the lyric tonight to, to "Hail, hail, uh, all hail the lucky ones, the- the ones that are tall." This one's to Luc Longley, yeah?
