E
I'm not a rat to be spat on locked up in this room.
E
Those bars that look towards the sun at night look towards the moon.
E
Everyday the swallows play in the clouds of love.
B
Make me wish that I had wings take me high above.
CHORUS:
A
And I looked high - and saw the empty sky.
A
If I could only, I could only fly.
A
I'd drift with them in endless space.
E
But no man flies from this place.
E
At night I lay upon my bench and stare towards the stars.
E
The cold night air comes creeping in and home seems oh so far.
E
If only I could swing upon those twinkling dots above.
B
I'd look down from the heavens upon the ones I love.
{Repeat Chorus}
E
Hey - the lucky locket hangs around your precious neck.
E
Some luck I ever got with you and I - wouldn't like to bet -
E
that sooner or later you'll own just one half of this land.
B
By shining your eyes on the wealth of every man.
E
Just send up my love. Ain't seen nothing but tears.
E
Now I've got myself - in this room for years.
E
Don't see no one one, Never see anyone
E
Yeah we're high, yeah
