The Cape

He's eight years old with a flour sack cape
 Tied all around his neck
 He climbed up on the garage
 Figurin' what the hell
 He screwed his courage up so tight
 The whole thing came unwound
 He got a runnin' start and bless his heart
 He headed for the ground
 He is 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
 ♪
 He's all grown up with a flour sack cape
 Tied around his drink
 He's full of piss and vinegar
 He's bustin' at the seams
 He licked his finger and checked the wind
 Said it's gonna be do or die
 He wasn't scared of nothin' boys
 He was pretty sure he could fly
 He is 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

 He's old and grey with a flour sack cape
 Tied all around his head
 He's still jumpin' off the garage
 And will be 'til he's dead
 And all these years the people said
 He's actin' like a kid
 He did not know he could not fly
 So he did
 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
 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
