The Cape 歌词

Eight years old with a floursack 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 came 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 your breath Always trust your cape All grown up with a floursack cape Tied around his dreams He was full of spit and vinegar He was bustin' at the seams He licked his finger and he checked the wind It was gonna be do or die He wasn't scared of nothin' boys And he was pretty sure he could fly He's one of those who knows that life Is just a leap of faith Spread your arms and hold your breath Always trust your cape Old and grey with a floursack cape Tied all around his head He's still jumpin' off the garage 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 He's one of those who knows that life Is just a leap of faith Spread your arms and hold your breath Always trust your cape
