About As Helpful As You Can Be Without Being Any Help At All Lyrics by Dan Mangan

Oh Fortune

2011

Both feet together
Slowly progressing
Always in time
Don't count the feathers, just count the wings
Everyday counting
Everything's changing, I almost forgot it
Then I remembered
I was thrown in the boat
Cast out to sea, friendly with waves
There were sharks below
Hungry for me
So I dangled my legs
I lit up like a match
'Cause I bled gasoline
Made a torch of myself
Till the moon was mine
Stars made of me
Oh I lit up that sky
Both feet together
Slowly progressing
Always in time
Don't count the feathers, just count the wings
Everyday counting
Everything's changing
I almost forgot it
But then I remembered
