Both feet together
Slowly progressing
Always in time
Don't count the feathers
Just count the wings
Every day, counting
Everything's changing
I almost forgot it
But then I remembered
I was thrown in the boat
Cast out to sea
Friendly with the waves
There were sharks below
Hungry for me
So I dangled my legs
I lit up like a match,
'Cause I bled gasoline
Made a torch of myself
Till the moon was mine
Stars made of me
How I lit up that sky!
Both feet together
Slowly progressing
Always in time
Don't count the feathers
Just count the wings
Every day, counting
Everything's changing
I almost forgot it
But then I remembered
