Faster - 2004 Digital Remaster Lyrics
George Harrison
Lyrics
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 until 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
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 one knows quite how he does it but it's true they say
He's the master of going faster
