Eight years old with flour sack cape
Tied all around his neck
He climbed up on the garage
Figurinwhat the heck
He screwed his courage up so tight
The whole thing come unwound
He got a runninstart and bless his heart
He headed for the ground
Chorus
Heí… one of those who knows that life
Is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold you breath
Always trust your cape
All grown up with a flour sack cape
Tied all around his dream
Heí… full of piss and vinegar
Heí… bustinat the seams
He licked his finger and checked the wind
Ití… gonna be do or die
He wasní… scared of nothin Boys
He was pretty sure he could fly
Chorus
Old and grey with a flour sack cape
Tied all around his head
Heí… still jumpinoff the garage
And will be till heí… dead
All these years the people said
Heí… actinlike a kid
He did not know he could not fly
So he did
Chorus
