Daedalus, incredulous  
argues with his son  
Icarus, though rigorous  
wants to catch the sun  
chariot that carries it  
and Apollo, too  
way up high, high in the sky  
blue, so very blue

Icarus, you're vigorous --  
Daedalus says then --  
but I balk, you're not a hawk  
no, you're but a man  
and the sun will singe, my son  
you will crash and burn  
your life flashes, then your ashes  
mortuary urn

son would rather ignore father  
feathered as a bird  
hates that Minos, who's as mean as --  
well, I'm sure you've heard --  
he says: dad, we have been had  
and I have to try  
tests the wings, and pulls some strings...
