Champion Of The World

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, don't stop the fight Everyone can see I'm hurt But I'll stand before conquistadors Till I'm champion of the world (When I sail) And when I sail I'm 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 She'll bring the colours and say "I wandered the whole wide world but Baby, you're the best" So I'm 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 I'm champion of the world
