Icarus (伊卡洛斯) - Patricia Barber[00:00:00]
Intent a wooden lattice is placed[00:00:15]
Feathers are waxed and laced[00:00:20]
Reeds are stockpiled patiently cast[00:00:22]
And curved each longer than the last[00:00:26]
It is a perfect design a boldfaced[00:00:30]
Attempt to fly[00:00:34]
Back off the boardwalk at the Midtown[00:00:41]
Dressed in chiffon dressed in her best gown[00:00:45]
An angel black as the color of her hair[00:00:48]
Begins to sing and play and dare[00:00:52]
To form a perfect design a boldfaced[00:00:56]
Attempt to fly[00:00:59]
Falling out of the middle[00:01:07]
The air begins to thin[00:01:09]
From light into darkness[00:01:12]
Into the light again[00:01:14]
Gravity conspiring[00:01:16]
With the forces of drag[00:01:16]
So nose up and farewell[00:01:18]
To those who lag[00:01:21]
And who didn't blow the whistle[00:01:22]
Took calculated risks[00:01:25]
Who didn't push the river[00:01:29]
Who didn't use their fists[00:01:30]
Who didn't go to great lengths[00:01:31]
Nor to great heights[00:01:31]
You're up in the air now[00:01:32]
Divine[00:01:37]
Falling out of the middle[00:02:47]
The air begins to thin[00:02:49]
From light into darkness[00:02:51]
Into the light again[00:02:52]
Gravity conspiring[00:02:55]
With the forces of drag[00:02:55]
So nose up and farewell[00:02:56]
To those who lag[00:02:58]
And who didn't blow the whistle[00:02:59]
Took calculated risks[00:03:02]
Who didn't push the river[00:03:03]
Who didn't use their fists[00:03:05]
Who didn't go to great lengths[00:03:07]
Nor to great heights[00:03:11]
You're up in the air now[00:03:12]
Moonshine drunk you're smug as the Sun[00:03:17]
Larger than life baby you're the one[00:03:20]
With wings rising over the wall[00:03:24]
Falling out of the middle away from us all[00:03:27]
'Til to end[00:05:03]
