Testo Hero with a Wing - Robert Calvert
Testo della canzone Hero with a Wing (Robert Calvert), tratta dall'album Captain Lockheed And The Starfighters
I see myself a hero
While one wing falls away
And the dial approaches zero
In a spiraling display
My past life flashes feverishly
Lives I did not lead
Like the time I was a hero
Of a weird outlandish breed
One arm of flesh and muscle
And one of feathered scale
I was a hero with one wing
That was of no avail
I could only fly in circles
Like a corkscrew in the sky
My one wing flapping frantically
While birds just glided by
I launched myself from mountains
And from the highest trees
And though I could get nowhere
Just landed on my knees
But still I was a hero
With one wing more than most
Almost half an angel
A one-winged holy ghost
My father was an eagle
With two wings wide as sails
My mother was the west wind witch
With grasping fingernails
She lured him from his eyrie
With a twittering device
She kept him in a golden cage
That impaled my eyes
