[Verse 1]
Eight years old with a flour sack cape
Tied all around his neck
He climbed up on the garage
He's figuring what the heck?
Screwed his courage up so tight
That the whole thing come unwound
He got a running start and bless his heart
He's headed for the ground
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Now, he's all grown up with a flour sack cape
Tied all around his dreams
And he's full of piss and vinegar
And he's busting at the seams
So he licked his finger and he checked the wind
It's gonna be do-or-die
He wasn't scared of nothing, boys
He was pretty sure he could fly
Eight years old with a flour sack cape
Tied all around his neck
He climbed up on the garage
He's figuring what the heck?
Screwed his courage up so tight
That the whole thing come unwound
He got a running start and bless his heart
He's headed for the ground
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Now, he's all grown up with a flour sack cape
Tied all around his dreams
And he's full of piss and vinegar
And he's busting at the seams
So he licked his finger and he checked the wind
It's gonna be do-or-die
He wasn't scared of nothing, boys
He was pretty sure he could fly
