lyrics

He had a way, a little way, a way with words  
He wore a cape, a silver cape , and looked absurd  
And in his moth, his tiger moth, bust and smashed 
He never sunk, he never saw what was long since dashed

He kept on, he kept on, he kept on, and he kept on 
He kept on, he kept on, he kept on, and he kept on

Oooohh - he wanted the heights he wanted the view 
Oooohh - he wanted the lights he wanted the loot 
Oooohh - he wanted to fly and he flew 
Why cant I, why cant you

And then a maze, a crazy maze, that slowed him down 
And then a dame, a crazy dame, that spun him round and round 
And then a hand, a broken hand, cold and pale 
And then a heart, a broken heart, old and stale

But he kept on, he kept on, he kept on, and he kept on 
He kept on, he kept on, he kept on, and he kept on.

Oooohh - he wanted the heights he wanted the view 
Oooohh - he wanted the lights he wanted the loot 
Oooohh - he wanted to fly and he flew 
Why cant I, why cant you
