About As Helpful As You Can Be
Dan Mangan

Both feet together
Slowly progressing
Always in time
Don't count the feathers
Just count the wings
Every day, counting
Everything's changing
I almost forgot it
But then I remembered

I was thrown in the boat
Cast out to sea
Friendly with the waves
There were sharks below
Hungry for me
So I dangled my legs

I lit up like a match,
'Cause I bled gasoline
Made a torch of myself
Till the moon was mine
Stars made of me
How I lit up that sky!

Both feet together
Slowly progressing
Always in time
Don't count the feathers
Just count the wings
Every day, counting
Everything's changing
I almost forgot it
But then I remembered
