The Cape

Well now this is a song about jumping off the garage Eight years old with a flour sack cape tied all around his neck He climbed up on the garage, he's figurin' what the heck, well He screwed his courage up so tight that the whole thing come unwound He got a runnin' start and bless his heart, he's headed for the ground Well, he's one of those who knows that life is just a leap of faith Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape Now, he's all grown up with a flour sack cape tied all around his dream And he's full of piss and vinegar, he's bustin' at the seam So he licked his finger and then he checked the wind, he said it's gonna be do or die He wasn't scared of nothin', he was pretty sure he could fly Well, he's one of those who knows that life is just a leap of faith Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape Now, he's old and gray 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, he's actin' like a kid He did not know he could not fly, so he did Well, he's one of those who knows that life is just a leap of faith Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape Yes, he's one of those who knows that life is just a leap of faith Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape Thanks
