  • Like a lonely soul
    On an empty sea
    Behind a setting sun
    I bet you can't find me
    I'm flying on the ground
    Yeah, I'm upside down
    'Cause I got so high

    I walk in single file
    On an open road
    My head is in the clouds
    Got a heart of gold
    I'm flying on the ground
    Yeah, I'm upside down
    'Cause I got so high

    You never do what you're told
    Now come in out of the cold
    We'll say a prayer for everyone that we know
    As the years fly by I'll wipe the tears from your eyes
    We need is love and a place we call home

    You never do what you're told
    Now come in out of the cold
    We'll say a prayer for everyone that we know
    And the years fly by I'll wipe the tears from your eyes
    All we need is love and a place we call home

    Never do what you're told
    Now come in out of the cold
    We'll say a prayer for everyone that we know
    As the years fly by I'll wipe the tears from your eyes
    We need is love and a place we call home

    Like a lonely soul
    On an empty sea
    Behind a setting sun
    I bet you can't find me
    I'm flying on the ground
    Yeah, I'm upside down
    'Cause I got so high

    I'm flying on the ground
    Yeah, I'm upside down
    'Cause I got so high

    I'm flying on the ground
    Yeah, I'm upside down
    'Cause I got so high Writer/s: Noel Gallagher
