The Cape (Live) Lyrics
Eight years old with a flour sack cape tied all around his neck
He climbed up on the garage, he`s figurin` what the heck, well
He screwed his courage up so tight that the whole thing come unwoundHe got a runnin` start and bless his heart, he`s headed for the ground
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
Now, he`s all grown up with a flour sack cape tied all around his dream
And he`s full of spit and vinegar and he`s bustin` at the seam
Well, he licked his finger and he checked the wind, it`s gonna be do or die
And he wasn`t scared of nothin`, boys, he was pretty sure he could fly
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
Now, he`s old and gray with a flour sack cape tied all around his head
And he`s still jumpin` off the garage and will be till he`s dead

All these years the people said, he was actin` like a kid
He did not know he could not fly and so he did
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
Yes, 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
