Champion Of The World (Live at NPR's Tiny Desk)

I tried my best to be just like The other boys in school I tried my best to get it right And died in every duel This mountainside is suicide This dream will never work Still this sign upon my headstone write A champion of the world I try my best to stay alight Fly like a firework I tried my best at taking flight But my rocketship reversed No referee don't stop the fight Everyone can see I'm hurt But I'll stand before conquistadors Til I'm champion of the world When I sail And when I sail I'm sailing west I might fail Knowing I might fail but still I'm hoping for the best In my dreams In my dreams onto my chest She'll pin the colours and say I wandered the whole wide world but Baby you're the best So I'm flying on my bicycle Heading upwards from the Earth I am jumping with no parachute Out into the universe I have E.T. on my bicycle Because giving up won't work Now I'm riding on my rocketship And I'm champion of the world
