Dressed to kill on lavender hill
You said I'd be the one you're with
You said you had always wanted
Someone to be your patti smith

You really took me too high
You really put me on a pedestal
I told you I can't fly

I'm a survivor, a skydiver
I looked you in the eye, I looked you in the eye
Here's to gravity, do you remember me?
It could have been anyone flying too close to the sun

I explained to my body today
That we would be moving through
I get everything that you've done
My mama, she beat me too

You really took me too high
You really put me on a pedestal
I told you I can't fly

I'm a survivor, a skydiver
I looked you in the eye, I looked you in the eye
Now looking back, I'm happy that
It could have been anyone flying too close to the sun

You really took me too high
You really put me on a pedestal
I told you I can't fly
You really took me too high
You really put me on a pedestal
I told you I can't fly

(I don't know who you're with)
I'm a survivor, a skydiver
(As long as I'm your patti smith)
I looked you in the eye, I looked you in the eye (I can't fly)
(I don't know who you're with)
Here's to gravity, do you remember me?
(As long as I'm your patti smith)
It could have been anyone (I can't fly)
(I don't know, I don't know)
Flying too close to the sun
