Lyrics Paper Wings: A Route to the Sky - Jake Heggie

My mother taught me to fly
Not even knowing that she had done so.
I climbed on the roof - a complicated route to the sky
But the firemen got me down, oh, the firemen got me down!
Ah.
Lisa was eight when she climbed through a window out onto the roof.
Oh, when I saw how she'd done it, I nearly fainted,
So I went out after her.
(Spoken: Lisa, don't move!)
Then we were both stuck.
Two trucks, an ambulance,
Two station wagons of rescue teams came to the house
And the firemen got us down,
Oh, the firemen got us down.
