about

This is a very, very old song. In essence, it's about building a robot whose sole purpose is to find the love of your live who disappeared a long time ago.

lyrics

I’ll breathe underwater and fly though the air
Just to let you know I’m standing there
I’m a man who can fly, with a reason to be
Well at least that’s what my creator told me
And it’s life’s due course, I’m here to save,
And I’m riding the walls and I;m riding the waves
To give you help, or a thing of the sort
And I’ll change your mind and I won’t get caught


Not because I will, not because I can
I’ve got no free will, I’m the flying man


My face is a mask, of white and blue
There’s nothing on my mind but how to get to you
And behind this mask of blue and white
There lies a picture of your face and lies the knowledge of flight
How it came to me, I don’t know
But it came to be, and it goes to show
I’ll travel the world, I’ll scour the Earth
Just to let you know what you’re really worth

Not because I will, not because I can
I’ve got no free will, I’m the flying man


So I’ll build me a soldier to work for me
Because I’m much too scared to say what I mean
The girl of my dreams has left these shores
And this a fact I just can’t face no more
So I want you to scale every inch of the sky
Until you see the one with the sky blue eyes
You’re a man who can fly with a reason to be
I told you so and now you must go and send a message for me
