The Cape
Eight years old with a floursack capeTied all around his neckHe climbed up on the garageFigurin' what the heckHe screwed his courage up so tightThe whole thing came unwoundHe got a runnin' start and bless his heartHe headed for the groundHe's one of those who knows that lifeIs just a leap of faithSpread your arms and hold your breathAlways trust your capeAll grown up with a floursack capeTied around his dreamsHe was full of spit and vinegar He was bustin' at the seamsHe licked his finger and he checked the windIt was gonna be do or die He wasn't scared of nothin' boysAnd he was pretty sure he could flyHe's one of those who knows that lifeIs just a leap of faithSpread your arms and hold your breathLetras de cancionesAlways trust your capeOld and grey with a floursack capeTied all around his headHe's still jumpin' off the garageWill be till he's deadAll these years the people saidHe's actin' like a kidHe did not know he could not flySo he didHe's one of those who knows that lifeIs just a leap of faithSpread your arms and hold your breathAlways trust your cape From Letras Mania
