My first FAWM collaboration with Ad from Cats:for:peru. It's turned out pretty ace!

P.S. the picture is kind of related to the line: "I’m falling over myself to get wealthy and handsome and educated". KIND OF.

lyrics

They put me into a sack
And wheeled me out to sea for a swim
I’m falling over myself
To get wealthy and handsome and educated

I’m waiting for the moon to give birth the stars
I’m waiting for my go on the parallel bars
I will dance and you will applaud

Well don’t be alarmed
It’s just another chase at an airport
Sirens and car alarms
Don’t distract me from the task in hand

I’m waiting for the moon to give birth the stars
I’m waiting for my go on the parallel bars
I will dance and you will applaud

And I’ll fighting fit you will be sore
I’ll be the king and you will die by the sword
I’m waiting for the moon to give birth the stars
I’m waiting for my go on the parallel bars
