At night you just can't stop crying
But after all, what's to live for?
Maybe death only propels you forward
But you think hell is all death brings
That's why you want these golden wings
Chorus:
And you try, try, try, but you just can't fly
And you try, try, try, but you just can't fly
And you look at the sky and think
What'll happen when you die?
I know you, you're cowering in fear
To you it seems death is far too near
You're too attached to these human desires
That kind of thing only feeds the fires
You're too in love with these material things
That's why you want these golden wings
Chorus:
And you try, try, try, but you just can't fly
And you try, try, try, but you just can't fly
And you look at the sky and think
What'll happen when you die?
You think death is a large step down
It just shows you to the underground
So you want to fly up high
With golden wings, up to the sky
Chorus:
And you try, try, try, but you just can't fly
And you try, try, try, but you just can't fly
And you look at the sky and think
What'll happen when you die?
