Pirate Bill and Squidly

Pirate Bill and Squidly came jumpin' through the sky

Said Pirate Bill to Squidly, "It's a damn fine day to die!"

"For the sun is up, the sky is clear, there's no cloud bank to be found

Oh, they say the sky's the limit but we both know it's the ground!"

Mountains capped in snow white hats and skies of azure blue

A hundred-twenty miles an hour's just fine for me and you

Oh there's always chance of failure but we make that choice to fall

For how can you leap into your life if you never jump at all?

CHORUS:

No limits and no fear!

Better check out all your gear

Got safety on a ribbon and you'll find

With your sneakers on a cloud

No whiners are allowed

And the only limit in this world

Is the one within your mind

Pirate Bill and Squidly, they took me out to play

Said Pirate Bill and Squidly, "You will learn to live today,"

"Just arch your back and spread your arms, let the wind scream in your ears

and when you have finally touched the ground, you'll have turned back twenty years"

With Pirate Bill and Squidly, I'm at fifteen thousand feet

Said Pirate Bill and Squidly, "On the ground now we shall meet."

"Oh, you've come this far, claim who you are, there's no time left to hedge"

And hanging on those words alone, I stepped right off the edge

Spinning and falling, your destiny calling

You don't think of death 'cause you can't catch your breath

You're moving so fast and you want it to last

And you're only just starting to let out a smile

The world spins around and you stare at the ground

And its so far away and you just want to stay

In the air a bit more, this is what life is for

And the chute opens up and you stop!

Pirate Bill and Squidly came floating through the sky

Said Pirate Bill and Squidly, "Now you know how it's to fly."

"For your heart is quick, your breath is short, and eyes are filled with pools,

And your life can be just like this if you follow these few rules."
