Procol Harum - Ramblin' On Lyrics
A local picture houseWas showing a Batman movieYou see this guy fly up in the skyThought to myself, "Why shouldn't I?"Bought a pair of wingsWent upon the wallWas about to jump into the airWhen a voice from the street called"Hey wait a minute!Don't you realize the danger?What do you think you areSome kind of angel?"I considered for a minuteThought "He only speaks the truth"For the barbells on my eyelidsOnly emphasized my youthAnd the sawdust in my blimsoles (?)Means the same to him as meBut that's neither here nor furtherSo I spoke considerately"If you understandJust what I'm trying to say,Whatever you do, don't grin,You'll give the game away!"By now a crowd had gatheredAnd it seemed that all was lostIn the anger of the momentI had diced with death and lostIt seemed to me the time was rightSo I burst into songIn the anger of the momentThe crowd began to sing alongI could not see a way out of this predicamentJust then a breezeCruised through the treesAnd up in the air I wentI must have flown a mileOr maybe it was eightThought to myself pretty soonI'd hit the Golden GateJust then a passing birdFor no reason I could seeTook a peck at my wingsAnd that was the end of meI went down, hit the groundFaster than the speed of soundLuckily I broke no bonesOnly tore my underclothes
