Rambling On - 2009 Remaster

A local picture house was showing a Batman movie
You see this guy fly up in the sky
Thought to myself, "Why shouldn't I?"
Bought a pair of wings, went up upon the wall
Was about to jump into the air when a man from the street called

He said, "Hey wait a minute, don't you realize the danger?
What do you think you are, some kind of angel?"

I considered for a minute, thought, "He only speaks the truth"
For the barbells on my eyelids only emphasized my youth
And the sawdust in my plimsolls means the same to him as me
But that's neither here nor further, so I spoke considerately

"If you understand just what I'm trying to say
Whatever you do, don't grin you'll give the game away"

By now a crowd had gathered and it seemed that all was lost
In the anger of the moment I had diced with death and lost
It seemed to me the time was right, so I burst into song
In the anger of the moment the crowd began to sing along

I could not see a way out of this predicament
Just then a breeze comes through the trees
And up in the air I went
Here I go

I must have flown a mile or maybe it was eight
Thought to myself pretty soon I'd hit the Golden Gates
Just then a passing bird for no reason I could see
Took a peck at my wings and that was the end of me

I went down, hit the ground faster than the speed of sound
Luckily I broke no bones, only tore my underclothes
