Just a piece of leg to bite on
What a night to fly my kite on
Do you want to flash a light on?
Take a look, it's on display, for you
Comin' down, no, not today
Did you meet your fortune-teller?
Get it off with no propeller
Do it up, it's on with Stella
What a way to finally smell her
Pickin' up, but not too strong for you
Take a piece and pass it on
Fly away on my zephyr
I feel it more than ever
And in this perfect weather
We'll find a place together
Fly on my wind
Rebel and a liberator
Find a way to be a skater
Rev it up to levitate her
Super friendly aviator
Take a look, it's on display, for you
Comin' down, no not today
Fly away on my zephyr
I feel it more than ever
And in this perfect weather
We'll find a place together
In the water where I center my emotion
All the world can pass me by
Fly away on my Zephyr
We'll find a place together
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-woah, do you
Yea-yea-yea-yea-yea-yeah
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-woah, want to
Yea-yea-yea-yea-yea-yeah
Fly away on my zephyr
I feel it more than ever
And in this perfect weather
We'll find a place together
In the water where I center my emotion
All the world can pass me by
Fly away on my Zephyr
We're gonna live forever
Forever
