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
then I remembered
Chords: C - Am - F - G
I was throw in the boat
cast out to sea,
friendly with waves
there were sharks below
hungry for me
so I dangled my legs
I lit up like a match
cause I bled gasoline
made a torch of myself
till the moon was mine
stars made of me
oh I lit up that sky
