|
CHOSE A LIFE IN CIRCUSES,
|
JUMPED INTO THE DEEPEST END.
|
PUSHING HIMSELF TO ALL EXTREMES, MADE IT,
|
PEOPLE BECAME HIS FRIENDS.
|
|
NOW THEY STOOD AND NOTICED HIM,
|
WANTED TO BE A PART OF IT.
|
PULLED OUT SOME POOR MACHINERY,
|
SO HE WORKED 'TIL THE PIECES FIT.
|
|
THE PEOPLE WERE INTRIGUED,
|
HIS WIFE HELD BACK HER FEARS.
|
THE HEADLINES GAVE ACCLAIM,
|
HE'D REALISED THEIR DREAMS.
|
|
FASTER THAN A BULLET FROM A GUN,
|
HE IS FASTER THAN EV'RYONE.
|
QUICKER THAN A BLINKING OF AN EYE,
|
LIKE A FLASH YOU COULD MISS HIM GOING BY.
|
NO ONE KNOWS QUITE HOW HE DOES IT
|
BUT IT'S TRUE, THEY SAY,
|
HE'S A MASTER OF GOING FASTER.
|
|
NOW HE MOVED INTO THE SPACE
|
THAT THE SPECIAL PEOPLE SHARE.
|
RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF DO OR DIE
|
WHERE THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO SPARE.
|
|
STILL THE CROWDS CAME POURING IN,
|
SOME HAD HOPED TO SEE HIM FAIL.
|
FILLING THEIR HEART WITH JEALOUSIES,
|
CRAZY PEOPLE WITH LOVE SO FRAIL.
|
|
THE PEOPLE WERE INTRIGUED,
|
HIS WIFE HELD BACK HER FEARS.
|
THE HEADLINES GAVE ACCLAIM,
|
HE'D REALISED THEIR DREAMS.
|
|
FASTER THAN A BULLET FROM A GUN,
|
HE IS FASTER THAN EV'RYONE.
|
QUICKER THAN A BLINKING OF AN EYE,
|
LIKE A FLASH YOU COULD MISS HIM GOING BY.
|
NO ONE KNOWS QUITE HOW HE DOES IT
|
BUT IT'S TRUE, THEY SAY,
|
HE'S A MASTER OF GOING FASTER.
|
|
NO NEED TO WONDER WHY
|
HIS WIFE HELD BACK HER FEARS.
|
SO FEW HAVE EVEN TRIED
|
TO REALISE THEIR DREAMS.
|
|
FASTER THAN A BULLET FROM A GUN,
|
HE IS FASTER THAN EV'RYONE.
|
QUICKER THAN A BLINKING OF AN EYE,
|
LIKE A FLASH YOU COULD MISS HIM GOING BY.
|
NO ONE KNOWS QUITE HOW HE DOES IT
|
BUT IT'S TRUE, THEY SAY,
|
HE'S A MASTER OF GOING FASTER.
|
NO ONE KNOWS QUITE HOW HE DOES IT
|
BUT IT'S TRUE, THEY SAY,
|
HE'S A MASTER OF GOING FASTER.
