Champion Of The World

Lyrics

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 duel
 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 flight
 But my rocketship reversed
 Oh, 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
 (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 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
 I am riding on my rocketship
 And I'm champion of the world
