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 Yeah 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 ET on my bicycle Because giving up won`t work I am riding on my rocketship And I`m champion of the world
