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
