i tried my best to be just like |
|
the other boys in school |
|
i tried my best to get it right |
|
and died at every june |
|
this mountainside is suicide |
|
this dream will never work |
|
still the sign upon my headstone, write |
|
"a champion of the world" |
|
|
|
i tried my best to stay alight |
|
fly like a firework |
|
i tried my best at taking flak |
|
but my rocket-ship reversed |
|
no, referee, dont stop the fight |
|
everyone can see im hurt |
|
but ill stand before conquistadors |
|
till im champion of the world |
|
|
|
(when i sail) and when i sail |
|
im sailing west |
|
(though i might fail) knowing i might fail |
|
but, still i am hoping for the best |
|
(in my dreams) and in my dreams |
|
onto my chest |
|
shell bring the colours and say |
|
"i wandered the whole wide world but |
|
baby, youre the best" |
|
|
|
so im flying on my bicycle |
|
heading outwards from the earth |
|
i am jumping with no parachute |
|
out into the universe |
|
i am e.t. on my bicycle |
|
with this kid, and i want more |
|
i am riding on my rocket-ship |
|
and im champion of the world |
|
