[00:10.62]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
