Never knew why he would fall victim to five-dollar highs
Bending his stories, inventing new lies - telling of cancers
One way to avoid questions and answers
Chorus
And Karl, he`s lucky
He`s learned how to fly
By keeping his knees on the ground
The most likely one to achieve
Such a high
And Karl is missing tonight
What can I say to his poor father
He calls every day - looking for clues
There`s no Gingerbread Man for him to follow
The candy man`s come and taken his son
And Karl, he`s lucky
He`s learned how to fly
By keeping his knees on the ground
His face in the dirt
And his friends by his side
And Karl is missing tonight
Maybe I`m the one that`s wrong - I misunderstood
You just wanna die young to come back And feel good
But is it worth the exchange? Does it keep you from harm?
The last time I saw you ~ you clutched my arm and you wept
Like a child
And Karl, he`s lucky
He`s learned how to fly
By keeping his knees on the ground
He`s learned how to leave without saying goodbye
And Karl is missing tonight
And Karl is out of my life. Out of my life.
