Im flying down deserted streets
Wrapped in mothers winding sheets
Asbestos boots on flaming feet
Dreaming of forbidden treats
When uniforms on nighttime beats
Ask me where Im going and what I eat
I answer them with a voice so sweet
I cant come down
Its plain to see
I cant come down
Ive been set free
Who you are and what you do
Dont make no difference to me
Well someone’s trying to tell me where its at
How I do this and why I do that
With secret smiles, like a Cheshire Cat
And leather wings like a vampire bat
I fly away to my cold water flat
And eat my way to a bone of fat
And I say to the man with the funny hat
I cant come down
Its plain to see
I cant come down
Ive been set free
Who you are and what you do
Dont make no difference to me
They say Ive begun to lose my grip
My hold on reality is starting to slip
Tell me to get off this trip
They say that its like a sinking ship
Life’s sweet wines too warm to sip
And if I drink Ill surely flip
I just say as I take a nip
I cant come down
Its plain to see
I cant come down
Ive been set free
Who you are and what you do
Dont make no difference to me
So, as I dream of cotton seas
And granite halls and redwood trees
An ugly eye that only sees
Endless mirrors and infinite mes
About the winters coming freeze
This afterthought I say with ease
To all of you who made your pleas
I cant come down
Its plain to see
I cant come down
Ive been set free
Who you are and what you do
Dont make no difference to me
