Say boys and girls don't you want to have fun 
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...
