Fly and the Vision

[Verse 1]
I remember him quite well
He was a very fine young lad
And he worked for General Products
And saved every cent he had

But he went cra-a-a-a-zy, cra-a-a-a-zy
And it had a lot to do
With a note found in his lunch pail on a Tuesday afternoon

[Verse 2]
It said his gal was goin' out
And havin' herself quite a ball
Then he drilled his egg and olive sandwich squarely through the wall

And went cuh-ra-a-a-a-zy, cra-a-a-zy
Just to find himself some lunch
But instead he found ol’ Cocaine Bill
An’ his rough-and-rowdy bunch

[Chorus]
Woah-oh, he was wild
But Billy made him mild
Kinda set him straight
Before it was too late
You don't think you're leavin', then you're gone

[Verse 3]
He moved to Alexander St
Where the people stay quite high
And the gang all called him "Cowboy"
'Cept for one chick who called him "Fly"

And he got la-a-a-a-zy, la-a-a-zy
An' he drank the cheapest wine
Till one night, he had a vision
In a cold December sky

[Verse 4]
He said it was the darkest blue
Then it turned a brilliant red
And the silver-plated x-ray pointed right down onto his head

And like a wiretap, it showed exactly
All the roads that he might choose
One woman cried out, "Jesus!"
An' one man blamed the booze

[Chorus]
But Fly was wild
An' the vision made him mi-hild
Kinna set him straight
Before it was too late
You don't think you're leavin', then you're gone
I said, "You don't think you're leavin', then you're gone."
