VERSE
In his imagination
Heâ??s flying high
His thoughts are wings
Taking him up into the sky
BRIDGE
In his imagination
Heâ??s anywhere
When he floats back down to earth
He doesn't want to live there
INTERLUDE
VERSE
Tonight he's working the midnight shift
Arriving at ten
Learning how slowly 12 can turn
Into 7 am
BRIDGE
He's up to his eyes
In stuff he'll despise
The same as every weekday
But inside his head
Heâ??s easily led
And in his imagination
Chorus
Heâ??s flying away
In his imagination
Heâ??s flying away
In his imagination
MIDDLE 8
He tells me his mother says
He should be glad to be employed
Unlike so many young folk today
But he's not exactly overjoyed
INTERLUDE
BRIDGE
He's up to his eyes
In stuff he'll despise
The same as every weekday
But inside his head
Heâ??s easily led
And in his imagination
Chorus
Heâ??s flying away
In his imagination
Heâ??s flying away
In his imagination
VERSE
Monday evening
I see he's back with a smile on his face
Says he's had a call from London
And been offered a place
BRIDGE
He's leaving next week
The future's not bleak
Heâ??s going to be an artist
He's got an idea
Could be a career
He knows he's one of the smartest
Chorus
Flying away
Through his imagination
Flying away
In his imagination
Heâ??s flying away
In his imagination
Heâ??s flying away
In his imagination
OUTRO
CODA (no chords just vocals and harmonies)
Flying away
Through his imagination
Flying away
In his imagination
Heâ??s flying away
In his imagination
Heâ??s flying away
In his imagination
(repeat and fade)
