Hi mamama
He had a way
a little way
a way with words

He wore a cape
a silver cape
and looked absurd

And in his mouth
his tiger mouth
bust and smashed

He never sunk
he never saw what was long since dashed
He kept on
he kept on
he kept on
and he kept on
He kept on
he kept on
he kept on
and he kept on

He wanted the heights he wanted the view

He wanted the lights he wanted the loot

He wanted to fly and he flew

Why can t I
why can t you

And then a maze
a crazy maze that slowed him down

And then a dame
a crazy dame that spun him round and round

And then a hand
a broken hand
cold and pale

And then a heart
a broken heart
old and stale
But he kept on
he kept on
he kept on
and he kept on
he kept on
he kept on
he kept on
and he kept on

He wanted the heights he wanted the view

He wanted the lights he wanted the loot

He wanted to fly and he flew

Why can t I

why can t you

Why can t I
why can t you
