The Cape
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
And Always trust your cape
All grown up with a floursack cape
Tied all around his dreams
He's full of piss and vinegar
And he is bustin' at the seams
Well he licked his finger and checked the wind
It was gonna be do or die
He wasn't scared of nothin' boys
He was pretty sure he could fly
'Cause 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 is old and grey with a floursack cape
Tied all around his head
Well he's still jumpin' off the garage
And he 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
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
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
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
And Always trust your cape
All grown up with a floursack cape
Tied all around his dreams
He's full of piss and vinegar
And he is bustin' at the seams
Well he licked his finger and checked the wind
It was gonna be do or die
He wasn't scared of nothin' boys
He was pretty sure he could fly
'Cause 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 is old and grey with a floursack cape
Tied all around his head
Well he's still jumpin' off the garage
And he 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
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
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
