I'll be happy flyin' on the rooftops
I'll be happy burnin' in the streets
I'll be happy movin' when I wish to
I'll be happy sayin' how I please
But I know I was never goin' to hear
I know I was never goin' to cut my brother
I know I'll never goin' to make no deals
I'll be happy stayin' with you baby
I'll be happy swimmin' for free
You got your cars at your curb, you got your horses in the country
But I'm a cities own son, I'm a man of means, yes indeed
And I know I would never goin' to hear
I know I was never goin' to wear no collar
I know I'll never goin' to make no deal
I'm flyin' on the rooftops
I'm burnin' in the streets now
I'm a stayin' with you baby
I'm a swimmin' for free
Talk to me baby
I'm swimmin' for free
I'm flyin' on the rooftops
I'm burnin' in the alley
Talk to me baby
