Water Wings

The crowd
The crowd spreads out, takes out its glasses
And then stares
Pulls out arrows from God knows where
They fire them up
They form a net
They drain their cups
And wait expectantly for their hero to blow up
She pointed at the black cloud in the sky
Said that's what happens when you're learning to fly
She pointed at the black cloud in the sky
Said that's what happens when you're learning to fly
She said those wings are just a disguise
And you cannot make me cry
She pointed at the black cloud in the sky
Yeah, that's what happens
Was it worth the wait?
Is that the wall where you marked off the date?
With the wings
Made of wax, made of water
Who was too dumb to accept the offer?
Who was too smart?
To strap on into the leather
Fired it up
Pulled out the feathers, one by one
As he got closer to the sun
She pointed at the black cloud in the sky
Said that's what happens when you're learning to fly
She pointed at the black cloud in the sky
Said that's what happens when you're learning to fly
She said those wings are just a disguise
And you cannot make me cry
She pointed at the black cloud in the sky
She pointed at the black cloud in the sky
She said with you it is no use
Why do you try?
She said with you it is no use
Why do you try?
