About As Helpful As You Can Be Lyrics

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 a boat
cast out to sea
friendly with waves
there were sharks below
hungry for me
so I dangled my legs

And I lit up like a match
cause I bled gasoline
made of torch of myself
till the moon was mine
stars made of me
I lit up that sky

Feet together
slowly progressing
always in time
don't count the feathers
just count the wings
every day counting
everything changing
I almost forgot it
then I remembered
