Always Trust Your Cape

Eight years old with a flour sack cape tied all around his neck

 

He climbed up on the garage figuring what the heck

 

He screwed his courage up so tight the whole thing came unwound

 

He got a running start and bless his heart he headed for the ground

 

Chorus:

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 dreams

And he's full of piss and vinegar and he's busting at the seams

So, he licked his finger and checked the wind

It's gonna be do or die he wasn't scared of nothing, Boys

He was pretty sure he could fly (Chorus)

 

 

 

Now he's old and grey with a flour sack cape tied all around his head

He's still jumping off the garage and will be 'till he's dead

All these years the people said he's acting like a kid

He did not know he could not fly, so he did (Chorus)
