Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Both feet together
Slowly progressing
Always in time
Don't count the feathers
Just count the wings
Everyday counting
Everything's changing
I almost forgot it
But then I remembered
[Verse 2]
I was thrown in the boat
Cast out to sea
Friendly with waves
There were sharks below
Hungry for me
So I dangled my leg
[Verse 3]
I lit up like a match
Because I bled gasoline
Made a torch of myself
Until the moon was mine
Stars made of me
How I lit up that sky
[Verse 4]
Both feet together
Slowly progressing
Always in time
Don't count the feathers
Just count the wings
Everyday counting
Everything's changing
I almost forgot it
But then I remembered
