Flying On The Ground Is Wrong

Buffalo Springfield · Expecting To Fly [1970]

Is my world not falling down



I'm in pieces on the ground



And my eyes aren't open



And I'm standing on my knees



But if crying and holding on



And flying on the ground is wrong



Then I'm sorry to let you down



But you're from my side of town



And I miss you



Turn me up or turn me down



Turn me off or turn me round



I wish I could have met you in a place



Where we both belong



But if crying and holding on



And flying on the ground is wrong



Then I'm sorry to let you down



But you're from my side of town



And I miss you



Sometimes I feel like I'm just a helpless child



Sometimes I feel like a king



But baby, since I have changed



I can't take nothing home



City lights at a country fair



Never shine but always glare



If I'm bright enough to see you



You're just too dark to care



But if crying and holding on



And flying on the ground is wrong



Then I'm sorry to let you down



But you're from my side of town



And I miss you
