Versuri Gatsby & Carolyn Leigh – Gatsby's Song (excerpt) lyrics

[Song is part of a longer concert. Video is cued to begin at 39:23]

[Carolyn Leigh as Jay Gatsby / Rapped]
As I was walking down the street one day,
A voice inside my head had this to say:

[Sung]
“Where flittest thou —
And pardon how I smile.
I mean, why splittest thou
In such pedestrian style?

In other words,
Break off
Clutching at straws!
Shake off
Gravity’s laws,
And when you take off,
Hear that applause!
‘Cause you can do spectacular stunts
‘Cause you found out, miraculously,
That people who try anything once
Fly high and wide and free!
