Why bother to walk when you'd rather run
  Why bother with books when you've got a gun
  Come fly with me right into the sun
  In another world, in another time
  I can picture you and me together
  If I close my eyes tight and think real hard
  I can float lighter than a feather
  If I try even harder who knows what I might find
  Why maybe a pearl of wisdom
  I would trade these pearls for a parcel of flesh
  In flesh we were all invented
  Is it time to play? said the ratboy to the ratgirl
  Can we fly today, can we look here for some fresh kill
  In concentric circles we'll carve up the sky
  Looking for a big surprise
  Fly like a vulture, fly like a vulture....
  In another world, in another time
  I can picture us a happy family
  With our happy kids all flying all around
  And leaving far behind the rat-race
  Is it time to play? said the tortoise to the rabbit
  Can we fly today, are we creatures all of habit
  In concentric circles we'll carve up the sky
  Waiting for a big surprise
  Fly like a vulture, fly like a vulture...
  Say boys and girls don't you want to have fun
  Why bother to crawl when you'd rather run
  Why bother to walk when you'd rather fly
  Come join the party way up in the sky
  Is it time to play? said the ratboy to the ratgirl
  Can we fly today, can we look here for some fresh kill
  In concentric circles we'll carve up the sky
  Looking for a big surprise
  Fly like a vulture, fly like a vulture...
