Flyin’ High In the Friendly Sky / Mercy Mercy Me The Ecology Live 1974 by Marvin Gaye Lyrics

[Flyin' High (In the Friendly Skies)]

[Verse]
Flyin' high in the friendly sky
Without ever leavin' the ground
Rest of the folks are tired and weary
Have laid their bodies down
I hear you, baby
I go the place where danger awaits me
Woo, it's the only, it's only fear I found
So stupid minded
I can't help it, baby
Oh, I go crazy when I can't find it, baby
I know I'm hooked my friend
To the boy and chump that made slaves out of men
Forever, always
Oh, that's alright

[Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)]

[Verse]
Oh, mercy mercy me
My song's about the ecology
When will we ever learn? Oh
Whoa, mercy mercy me
There are songs about you killing me
When will we ever learn?
[Bridge]
You see, you gotta search for the truth
You gotta search for the truth, baby
Search for the truth
Oh, it's what we got to do
Oh, mercy mercy me, Lord
Sometime I think the world is killing me
When will we ever learn, baby?
Heavenly Father, Jesus, oh Jesus, help us, Lord
Heavenly Father, please, help us, Lord
Oh mercy mercy me
And my song's about the ecology
That won't matter long as we never learn
Oh, oh, oh

[Outro]
Thank you
