Tragically Hip Fly Lyrics

seventy days to cross the ocean
seventy nights where no one's gonna hear me fall
Freddie Mercury, "i've sometimes wished
i'd never been born at all," that's right

i remain unphotographed, yeah
i don't exaggerate my intelligence
i might turn a broom into a tree
But i'll never be one of them

i'll fly, cause there's no 'why'
in getting beaten up by
a guy who cries before he fights

i don't want 'em to see me like this
the way they like to kick people when their down
you said, 'please stop worrying bout this,
they stop kicking once you're down,' that's right

there's Mistaken Point, Newfoundland
there's Moonbeam, Ontari-ari-o
there are places i've never been
and always wanted to go

I'll fly
cause woe betides a guy who just lives to fight
fly
love is to try, die trying

fly, yeah that's right
fly, yeah that's right
try, love is to try; die trying

coastline rising out of the ocean
coastline rises like a pair of glowing thighs
there's something down deep inside me says
'where ya been all my life'

fly, turn your back, get your face in the sky
fly, love is to try; die trying

try, left and right, across your mind
try, love is to try; die trying
