The Cape |
| Eight years old with flour sack cape |
| Tied all around his neck |
| He climbed up on the garage |
| Figurin’what the heck |
| He screwed his courage up so tight |
| The whole thing come unwound |
| He got a runnin’start and bless his heart |
| He headed for the ground |
| He’s one of those who knows that life |
| Is just a leap of faith |
| Spread your arms and hold you breath |
| Always trust your cape |
| All grown up with a flour sack cape |
| Tied all around his dream |
| He’s full of piss and vinegar |
| He’s bustin’at the seams |
| He licked his finger and checked the wind |
| It’s gonna be do or die |
| He wasn’t scared of nothin', Boys |
| He was pretty sure he could fly |
| Old and grey with a flour sack cape |
| Tied all around his head |
| He’s still jumpin’off the garage |
| And will be till he’s dead |
| All these years the people said |
| He’s actin’like a kid |
| He did not know he could not fly |
| So he did |
