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?'
For the barbells on my eyelids only emphasised my youth
And the sawdust in my plimsolls means the same to him as me
'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
Luckily i broke no bones only tore my underclothes

We've seen it before
The high flying act
Is it manic delusion
Or a statement of fact

Skip softly, my moonbeams, avoid being seen
Pretend that perhaps you are part of a dream
Which (seen by some other such person as me)...
Cellar full of diamonds, turret full of gold
All for a mermaid's locket, too much to hold
Drink the seals' blood from the ocean,
