The Cape |
| Well he’s eight years old he’s got a flour sack cape tied all around his neck |
| He’s climbing up on top the garage figurin' what the heck |
| He screws his courage up so darn tight, that the whole thing come unwound |
| He got a runnin' start and bless his heart, he headed for the ground |
| 'Cause he’s one of those who knows his life |
| Is just a leap of faith |
| Gotta' spread your arms and hold your breath |
| And always trust your cape |
| Well he’s all grown up, he’s got a flour sack cape, tied all around his dream |
| He’s full of piss and vinegar, ah, he’s bustin' at the seams |
| He licks his finger and checks the wind, it’s gonna be do or die |
| He wasn’t scared of nothin', boys, he was pretty sure he could fly |
| Now he’s old and grey with a flour sack cape, tied all around his head |
| And he’s still jumpin' off the garage and will be til he’s dead |
| All these years the people said the fool was actin' like a kid |
| And since he didn’t know he couldn’t fly, well of course he did |
