Fly by Night - Intellectual

[Unrecorded Prologue: From the Album Notes]

Airport scurry flurry faces

Parade of passers by

People going many places

With a smile or just a sigh

Waiting waiting pass the time

Another cigarette

Get in line - gate thirty-nine

The time is not here yet (end)

[Verse 1]

Why try? I know why

This feeling inside me says it's time I was gone

Clear head, new life ahead

It's time I was king now, not just one more pawn

[Chorus]

Fly by night, away from here

Change my life again

Fly by night, goodbye, my dear

My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend

[Verse 2]

Moonrise, thoughtful eyes

Staring back at me from the window beside

No fright or hindsight

Leaving behind that empty feeling inside

[Chorus]

Fly by night, away from here

Change my life again

Fly by night, goodbye, my dear

My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend, whoa

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Fly by night, away from here

Change my life again

Fly by night, goodbye, my dear

My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend

[Bridge]

Start a new chapter, find what I'm after

It's changing every day

The change of a season's enough of a reason

To want to get away

Quiet and pensive, my thoughts apprehensive

The hours drift away

Leaving my homeland, playing a lone hand

My life begins today

[Chorus]

Fly by night, away from here

Change my life again

Fly by night, goodbye, my dear

My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend

Fly by night, away from here

Change my life again

Fly by night, goodbye, my dear

My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend
