The Falling Feels Like Flying

I was raised in faith and God and family
I loved to hear the old church organ sound
I hung out in the clouds like any angel
But then I had to know what happened on the ground

My daddy says that I?m a fallen woman
I?d love to change ?cause I hate to see him crying
I?m like a piece of down spilled from a pillow
I fell so long the falling feels like flying

It feels like flying, barroom nights go spinning by
It feels like flying, barlight stars right by my side
It feels like flying, and these loves don?t ever last,
they feel like flying, but the ground comes up so fast.

Dizzy in the last call by the coat check
Spinning in the arms of the guy who?s buying
Drinks for me and drinks for all he?s hoping
I fell so long the falling feels like flying

It feels like flying, barroom nights go spinning by
It feels like flying, barlight stars right by my side
It feels like flying, and these loves don?t ever last,
they feel like flying, but the ground comes up so fast.

When I wake from dreams where I?ve been falling
I wake wild-eyed, unhurt and hot and crying
I hope to hell I wake unhurt from this fall
I fell so long the falling feels like flying

It feels like flying, barroom nights go spinning by
It feels like flying, barlight stars right by my side
It feels like flying, and these loves don?t ever last,
they feel like flying, but the ground comes up so fast.
