Our local picture house was showing a batman movie |
|
You see this guy fly up in the sky, thought to myself, 'why shouldn't i?' |
|
So i bought a pair of wings, went up upon a wall |
|
I was about to jump into the air when a guy from the street called |
|
He said, 'hey wait a minute! don't you realize the danger? |
|
What do you think you are, some kind of angel?' |
|
I considered for a minute, realized he spoke the truth. |
|
For the barbells on my eyelids only emphasised my youth |
|
And the sawdust in my plimsolls means the same to him as me |
|
But that's neither here nor further, so i spoke considerately |
|
'now if you understand just what i'm trying to say, |
|
Whatever you do, don't grin, you'll give the game away!' |
|
By now a crowd had gathered and it seemed that all was lost |
|
In the anger of the moment i had diced with death and lost |
|
It seemed to me the time was right so i burst into song |
|
In the anger of the moment the crowd began to sing along |
|
I could not see a way out of this predicament |
|
Just then a breeze came through the trees and up in the air i went |
|
I must have flown a mile, or maybe it was eight |
|
Thought to myself pretty soon i'd hit the golden gates |
|
Just then a passing bird for no reason i could see |
|
Took a peck at my wings and that was the end of me |
|
I went down, hit the ground faster than the speed of sound |
|
Luckily i broke no bones only tore my underclothes |
