Feel like I'm flying, I'm dying to say
Want you forever and easy
Be where you are, where I want you to stay
Don't you know what I'm saying?
Believe me

Feel like I'm falling, it's all I can do
Lyin' and dyin' is lonely
Deeper and darker, no way to forgive
No way to believe what you told me
No way to believe what you told me
Way to believe

[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]

Kings in their castles wound up in their wine
Drinking their confidence daily
Wish I could be into that peace of mind
Wish I could be into crazy
Wish I could be into crazy
Wish I could be...
