LYRICS
Can I get your hand to write on
just a piece of leg to bite on
what a night to fly my kite on
do you want to flash a light on
take a look it's on display ... for you
coming down, no not today
Did you meet your fortune teller
get it off with no propeller
do it up it's on with Stella
what a way to finally smell her
picking up but not too strong ... for you
take a piece and pass it on
Fly away on my zephyr
I feel it more than ever
and in this perfect weather
we'll find a place together
fly on... my wind
Rebel and liberator
find a way to be a skater
rev it up to levitate her
super friendly aviator
take a look it's on display
for you ... coming down no not today
In the water where I center my emotion
all the world can pass me by
fly away on my Zephyr
we'll find a place together
In the water where I center my emotion
all the world can pass me by
fly away on my Zephyr
we're going to live forever
