Fly On (Ride On, Jimmy MacCarthy)

In the waning hours before season six of LOST begins, I thought I'd post another song parody, this one to Ride On, as sung by Ryan Kelly, whose angsty performance definitely seems to fit Sawyer's psyche. This one hearkens back to one of my favorite moments from the season four finale, when Sawyer jumps out of the too-heavy helicopter and swims back to the Island. This song has him addressing Kate, while the "he" refers to Jack.

Fly On


True, he’s done a lot of good since we got here.
Stitched some wounds and took the lead. He helped calm the fear.
I know you think that I’ll never measure up.
Maybe this will prove to you that I can be a hero too.

Fly on. See you.
Maybe this will prove to you that I can be a hero too. (2x)

When you‘ve landed in L. A. and left me far behind,
Check up on my little girl, Clementine.
Her ma will say I stayed away ‘cause I can’t commit,
But thanks to my dive, you’ll be alive, so just chew on that a bit.

Fly on. See you.
Maybe this will prove to you that I can be a hero too. (4x)

Maybe this will prove to you that I can be a hero too. (2x)

Ride On
