Die Worte der LH&R-Version konnte ich leider nirgendwo finden, aber hier ist mal was:
High Fly (Jon Hendricks)
Old ways seem to have passed them by
These days, life is in Hi-Fly
People walking ‚round, livin‘ in a daze
High above the ground, with their snooty/crazy ways
Put the people down, acting phoney while they fly high
[All around the town, actin‘ silly while they fly high]
[High falutin‘ crowds with their foreign cars
Livin‘ in the clouds, shootin‘ for the stars
They can never see, life the way it oughta be]
In their fancy clothes, with their corny jokes
Looking down their nose, at the common folks
They can never see, life the way it ought to be
Old ways seem to have passed them by
These days, life is in Hi-Fly
Everybody’s hip, every kind of sound
Comes from every lip, everybody’s down
‚bout too really flip, acting phoney/dippy while they fly high
[while they try livin‘ in Hi-Fly]
