King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard Grow Wings And Fly Lyrics

[Intro: Stu Mackenzie]
Bye bye Shanghai
Bye bye Shanghai
Bye bye Shanghai
Grow wings and fly

Let's get real high
Let's get real high
Let's get real high
Transcend this life
[Verse 1: Stu Mackenzie]
I wanna drink from the beehive
I wanna jump from the tight wire
Like a moth into a fire
I'm gonna burn up on the pyre

[Verse 2: Stu Mackenzie]
Well, it's love at first sight
Moonstruck on these nights
Sing a swan song on a lyre
Fly away one last time, yeah

[Verse 3: Joey Walker]
When I first saw you
Lying there in wait
With your unearthed buried smile
I sing to my duckling

[Verse 4: Joey Walker] Yes, you must learn to use your wings
But it is I that will be taught by you to fly

[Verse 5: Ambrose Kenny-Smith]
The distorted view from a misty window
As a thin ray of light, it's got a beacon crescendo
The moon is a clock face that's tick, tick, ticking with a crooked smile
We're all in the rat race together, we go the extra mile
[Verse 6: Ambrose Kenny-Smith]
Knock the surrounding buildings down
I'm calling out for help
I'm shedding my skin
Like a snake slithering

[Verse 7: Ambrose Kenny-Smith]
You gotta stop the overwhelming self-doubt
Catch me dancing in the summer rain with my tongue out
Woohoo!
Yeah!
