[Chorus]
I went flying out of my window
I went flying out of my window
Been caught doing it once or twice
But it feels so real nice
Oh it feels so real nice
[Bridge]
Saw the earth and I saw the sky
Saw the earth and I saw the sky
Been caught doing it once or twice
But it feels so real nigh
Oh it feels so real nigh
Oh it feels so real nigh
[Verse]
Went to school with them boring teachers
Who thought they was all my preachers
So I went staring out of my window
I went staring out of my window
Been caught doing it once or twice
But it feels so real nice
Oh it feels so real nice
Oh it feels so real nice, that I might even do it again
One of them took me with him to sleep
Said not to make a peep
Said it'll be a secret we keep
So I didn't make a peep
Kissed my cheek and rubbed my feet
But his kissing didn't taste so sweet
Told him I just wanted to sleep
So he got mad
And he got madder, and he got maddest of them all
[Chorus]
Sent me flying out of his window
Sent me flying out of his window
Not caught once, not caught twice
[Outro]
And I've been flying ever since
And I've been flying in the skies
