lyrics
The daddy was a craftsman
Of far and wide estimation
And he built two sets of pinions
Of arresting plume and wax
And he said, "Listen, boy
These will take us higher
But they also work as pyre
So you best beware the sun"
The daddy was a craftsman
Of universal repute
Measuring his heir for a feather suit
He was serious as cancer
When he said, "Look here, boy
These were made for hoisting
But they are much too dense for floating
So you best beware the sea
You follow me
By the time they know we've vanished
We'll be fading sable specks against the sky
Stick to my direction
It's all about defection
From the enemy
You and me
We’re gonna fly”
(“Look at us go”)
Once the boy began his flapping
He grew giddy at the prospects
He lost sight of his old man
He kept moving toward the bright light
The devil is a bright light
Red-hot bright light
Singeing away every quill from his arms
Red-hot bright light
Doing him a world of harm
And he fell into the breakers
He was swallowed by the breakers
‘Best beware the sun
Of far and wide estimation
And he built two sets of pinions
Of arresting plume and wax
And he said, "Listen, boy
These will take us higher
But they also work as pyre
So you best beware the sun"
The daddy was a craftsman
Of universal repute
Measuring his heir for a feather suit
He was serious as cancer
When he said, "Look here, boy
These were made for hoisting
But they are much too dense for floating
So you best beware the sea
You follow me
By the time they know we've vanished
We'll be fading sable specks against the sky
Stick to my direction
It's all about defection
From the enemy
You and me
We’re gonna fly”
(“Look at us go”)
Once the boy began his flapping
He grew giddy at the prospects
He lost sight of his old man
He kept moving toward the bright light
The devil is a bright light
Red-hot bright light
Singeing away every quill from his arms
Red-hot bright light
Doing him a world of harm
And he fell into the breakers
He was swallowed by the breakers
‘Best beware the sun
