Cape Lyrics

Beg to leave it alone
The glowing words and the dark where it shone
I paid the bartender dousing a sick side
Step my way home

Then form the alley ahead
I saw his makeshift newspaper bed
I reached in for some pocket change
But he asked me for a favor instead

Son, can you see who I am?
I may be filthy but I'm able to stand
Just give this burned down, louse covered drunk
A shot at being a man

It wasn't it so long ago
That I was a superman
Cruising down the golden road
I can't find my cape
Cape

So now you know how I feel
And please remember boy to keep your eyes peeled
It's red and green
With a triangle tweed stitched florescent seal

It wasn't it so long ago
That I was a superman
Cruising down the golden road
I can't find my cape
Cape, cape, cape
