The Cape
Lyricist:Clark Guy Charles, Clark Susanna, Janosky Jim
Well, he's eight years old he's got a flour sack cape Tied all around his neck He's climbing up on top of the garage He's figurin' what the heck
He screws his courage up so darn tight That the whole thing come unwound He got a runnin' start and bless his heart He headed for the ground
'Cause he's one of those who knows his life Is just a leap of faith Gotta' spread your arms and hold your breath And always trust your cape
Well, he's all grown up, he's got a flour sack cape Tied all around his dream He's full of piss and vinegar Ah, he's bustin' at the seams
He licks his finger and he checks the wind It's gonna be do or die He wasn't scared of nothin', boys He's a pretty sure he can fly Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
But he's one of those who knows his life Is just a leap of faith Gotta' 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 till he's dead
All these years the people said The fool was actin' like a kid And since he didn't know he couldn't fly Well, of course he did
'Cause he's one of those that knows his life Is just a leap of faith Gotta' spread your arms and hold your breath And always trust your cape
Gotta' spread your arms and hold your breath And always trust your cape
