Both feet together, slowly progressing
Always in time, don't count the feathers
Just count the wings
Every day counting, everything's changing
I almost forgot it. Then I remembered.
I was thrown 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 'til the moon was mine
Stars made of me, how I lit up that sky
Both feet together, slowly progressing
always in time, don't count the feathers
Just count the wings.
Every day counting, everything's changing
I almost forgot it. But then I remembered.
