The Cape (Live)

Well now this is a song about jumping off the garage
 ♪
 Eight years old with a flour sack cape tied all around his neck
 He climbed up on the garage, he's figurin' what the heck, well
 He screwed his courage up so tight that the whole thing come unwound
 He got a runnin' start and bless his heart, he's headed for the ground
 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 dream
 And he's full of piss and vinegar, he's bustin' at the seam
 So he licked his finger and then he checked the wind, he said it's gonna be do or die
 He wasn't scared of nothin', he was pretty sure he could fly
 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 old and gray with a flour sack cape tied all around his head
 And he's still jumpin' off the garage and 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
 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
 Yes, 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
