How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“Sad Tomorrows” is the demo version of the classic song “Flyin' High (In the Friendly Sky)”, from the What’s Going On album. It was released as the b-side of “Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)” in June 1971.

The song itself battles with drug addiction, heroin to be exact, to get away from life’s terrible moments.

This version features The Originals on backing vocals in the end of the song, while the final version only features vocals by Marvin himself.
