Our local picture house was showing a batman movie |
| [00:14.55] |
You see this guy fly up in the sky, thought to myself, 'why shouldn't i?' |
| [00:21.18] |
So i bought a pair of wings, went up upon a wall |
| [00:28.29] |
I was about to jump into the air when a guy from the street called |
| [00:35.61] |
He said, 'hey wait a minute! don't you realize the danger? |
| [00:42.30] |
What do you think you are, some kind of angel?' |
| [00:49.80] |
I considered for a minute, realized he spoke the truth. |
| [00:55.35] |
For the barbells on my eyelids only emphasised my youth |
| [01:02.31] |
And the sawdust in my plimsolls means the same to him as me |
| [01:08.88] |
But that's neither here nor further, so i spoke considerately |
| [01:14.70] |
'now if you understand just what i'm trying to say, |
| [01:23.22] |
Whatever you do, don't grin, you'll give the game away!' |
| [01:29.43] |
By now a crowd had gathered and it seemed that all was lost |
| [01:36.30] |
In the anger of the moment i had diced with death and lost |
| [01:43.11] |
It seemed to me the time was right so i burst into song |
| [01:50.25] |
In the anger of the moment the crowd began to sing along |
| [01:58.23] |
I could not see a way out of this predicament |
| [02:03.78] |
Just then a breeze came through the trees and up in the air i went |
| [02:36.78] |
I must have flown a mile, or maybe it was eight |
| [02:42.06] |
Thought to myself pretty soon i'd hit the golden gates |
| [02:48.69] |
Just then a passing bird for no reason i could see |
| [02:55.98] |
Took a peck at my wings and that was the end of me |
| [03:02.31] |
I went down, hit the ground faster than the speed of sound |
| [03:09.12] |
Luckily i broke no bones only tore my underclothes |
