Faster

Chose a life in circuses

Jumped into the deepest end

Pushing himself to all extremes

Made it - people became his friend.



Now they stood and noticed him

Wanted to be part of it

Pulled out some poor machinery

So he worked 'til the pieces fit.



The people were intrigued

His wife held back her fears

The headlines gave acclaim

He'd realized their dreams.



Faster than a bullet from a gun

He is faster than everyone

Quicker than the blinking of an eye

Like a flash you could miss him going by

No one knows quite how he does it but it's true they say

He's the master of going faster.



Now he moved into the space

That the special people share

Right on the edge of do or die

Where there is nothing left to spare.



Still the crowds came pouring in

Some had hoped to see him fail

Filling their hearts with jealousies

Crazy people with love so frail.



The people were intrigued

His wife held back her fears

The headlines gave acclaim

He'd realized their dreams.



Faster than a bullet from a gun

He is faster than everyone

Quicker than the blinking of an eye

Like a flash you could miss him going by

No one knows quite how he does it but it's true they say

He's the master of going faster.



No need to wonder why

His wife held back her fears

So few have even tried

To realize their dreams.

Faster than a bullet . . . (repeat chorus)
