Abominable Slowmen - The Cretian Isle lyrics

A bit ago in Crete Good ol' Theseus pulled off a feat Slew the Minotaur got in his car and sped off with a girl so sweet When ol' Minos heard the news He quickly flushed out the clues And said, "Daedalus, man, you're going in the can and your son is going too" So in the labyrinth's trial They roamed a while On the Cretian isle They had some candles in their packs And they melted them down for wax That with feathers and some string they fashioned into wings which they strapped onto their backs And so Daedalus, wise and old Told Icarus, young and bold "Don't be so damn brash or your *** is gonna crash into a sea green, mean, and cold" Then in single file They flew away in style From the Cretian isle "I'm flying, Dad, I'm flying I'm like a bird, Dad, look at me High in the sky like Helios I've never felt so ****ing free Oh, Dad, my wings are melting I'm one sad teardrop drooping towards the sea I'm drowning, Dad, I'm drowning Trapped beneath the waves I'm history" The moral of the story is to tie your shoes Because he who hesitates is bound lose One bad egg will spoil the batch But don't count your chickens before they hatch A friend in need is a friend indeed You can't cut a stone and make it bleed When the cat's away the mice will play And an apple a day keeps the cat away Eat your greens, but don't feed the bears An escalator can't break, it will just become stairs One man's maze is another man's measure Don't melt the wax if you can't grow the feather
