[00:20.550] Nabokov is sun-licked now
[00:23.050] Upon the beach at Gruenewald
[00:25.630] Brilliant and naked just
[00:28.020] The way that authors look
[00:35.690] Clare and Lady Manners drink
[00:38.070] Until the other cows go home
[00:40.760] Gossip till their lips are bleeding politics and all
[00:49.290] I'd rather be high
[00:54.300] I'd rather be flying
[00:59.430] I'd rather be dead or out of my head
[01:04.470] Than training these guns on those men in the sand
[01:09.460] I'd rather be high
[01:21.090] The Thames was black, the tower dark
[01:23.470] I flew to Cairo, find my regiment
[01:26.360] City's full of generals
[01:28.420] And generals full of ****
[01:35.980] I stumble to the graveyard and I lay down by my parents,
[01:40.560] Whisper "Just remember duckies
[01:43.280] Everybody gets got"

[01:54.920] I'd rather be flying
[02:00.040] I'd rather be dead or out of my head
[02:05.050] Than training these guns of those men in the sand
[02:10.180] I'd rather be high
[02:21.550] I'm seventeen and my looks can prove it
[02:26.440] I'm so afraid that I will lose it
[02:31.430] I'd rather smoke and phone my ex
[02:33.950] Be pleading for some teenage ***, yeah
[02:40.330] I'd rather be high
[02:45.400] I'd rather be flying
[02:50.520] I'd rather be dead or out of my head
[02:55.520] Than training these guns on the men in the sand
[03:00.660] I'd rather be high,
[03:05.690] I'd rather be flying
[03:10.860] I'd rather be high
[03:15.870] I'd rather be flying
