about

from A Throwaway or a Masterpiece (2011)

lyrics

before i die i'm gonna teach myself to fly
before i die i'm gonna teach myself to fly
i realize these arms aren't wings
and that, among some other things,
gonna make it hard to teach myself to fly
it's gonna make it hard to teach myself to fly
but before i die i'm gonna teach myself to fly
yeah before i die i'm gonna teach myself to fly

i'm tweaking my technique
a little bit each day
gotta get it all just right
before i fly away
i have my favorite birds on video
i'm learning all there is to know
before i die i'm gonna teach myself to fly

flap for thrust
fight that drag
lift is an issue
and my weight just makes me sag
but i'm pretty sure success is near
and i hope the thrill will outweigh my fear
cuz before i die i'm gonna teach myself to fly
