Wings

If I had wings I'd take off work
Fly around town till it got dark
Watch the kids playing basketball
Down in the park with their shoes on

And laugh at them, ha ha, I'm out of here
Gravity free in the stratosphere
Don't need a blunt or a can a beer
To get high as the sky and wave bye bye, bye bye

I flap my wings in double time
Rappin' in double rhyme, double rhyme
And look down on the world, feeling innocent
And thinking I never want to land again

Because an average day could ruin a man
Have me thinking about suicide again
And a whole lotta crazy other things
Like if I had wings

If I had wings, I would fly away, fly away
If I had wings, I would laugh all day, laugh all day
If I had wings, I would fly away, fly away
If I had wings, I would laugh all day

If I had wings I wouldn't fall in love
I'd flutter around it like a butterfly does
Pollinate my heart with flower buds
In the summer time, you know I want to rub

Noses with the mostest beautiful girl in the world
Fly to the sea and get a pearl to give to her
I'd be happy if her name were Jennifer or Stephanie
As long as she could fly away with me

And have a picnic in a maple tree, look
I can see my house from here, my mind is crystal clear
Would you like some more ambrosia dear? Listen
You can hear the crickets sing, I'd have a girl if I had wings

If I had wings, I would fly away, fly away
If I had wings, I would laugh all day, laugh all day
If I had wings, I would fly away, fly away
If I had wings, I would laugh all day

If I had wings I wouldn't be so lazy
I'd give rides to kids and old ladies
When they need help across the street
I'd be there to sweep them off their feet

I'd be a model citizen, all the kids around the way
Would say, "I want to be like Tim when I grow up"
Forget about Jordan, he can only jump, I want to fly
I want to flow, I want wings, don't you know?

Yeah, kids, I know all about it, I'm gonna
Get my wings one day, don't you doubt it
I don't want a car or diamond rings
I'd be a hero if I had wings

If I had wings, I would fly away, fly away
If I had wings, I would laugh all day, laugh all day
If I had wings, I would fly away, fly away
If I had wings, I would laugh all day

If I had wings, my luck would change
I could live above the clouds where it never rains
Where I can't get hit by a bus or a train
Or bird poop like I always do

There'd be no crowds at shopping malls
No barking dogs, no telephone poles and I'd be free
With nobody around to ostracize me
I could fly all day above the planet earth

Come home late and my feet would never hurt
I'd fill my pockets up with dirt
Just to prove that it isn't a dream
I'd be in heaven if I had wings
