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 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 to 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
 'Til I'm champion of the world
 (When I sail) 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 bring the colors 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 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
