Parachute

Virgil

A lonely man leaps from a mountain town/I stop him as he's half way down/Ask him what he's learned about the trip/He shyly smiles and moves his lip/A great day for a car crash/A pleasant day to make a change/The only thing left to do/Is pull on my parachute/It will take longer to land/But I can stand/And if I can count on you/To pull on your parachute/We will share time in the air/While we descend/Someone take away his gravity/He doesn't see he's plummeting/Gaining speed and twisting silently/He's sure to hit a street of trees/A great day for the cancer/A pleasant day to play it safe/The only thing left to do/Is pull on my parachute/It will take longer to land/But I can stand/And if I can count on you/To pull on your parachute/We will share time in the air/While we descend/He's not an arrow/But he knows the rest of us know/That he'll fly and he'll try/And when he comes crashing/The answers will flash in our face/The only thing left to do/Is pull on my parachute/It will take longer to land/But I can stand/And if I can count on you/To pull on your parachute/We will share time in the air/I just care that you're aware/But they'll have to meet us there.
