Handsome, you're falling backwards What are you gonna do? Ransom, you've broke the bank but Nobody's stealing you One syllable by deadened hand Throw it into space and wait Oh I can wait Run to the clearest view Run to the mountain tops with you We'll gain an extra life or two I'm in the room with the clearest view With obstacles to do battle to On my return I'm black and blue One foot on the carousel One foot in the ether Ah my battalion Buy us an extra life One eye is on the ball One eye is on the prize Run to the clearest view Run to the mountain tops with you We'll gain an extra life or two I'm in the room with the clearest view With obstacles to do battle to On my return I'm black and blue
