I tri ed my best to be just like
The o ther boys in scho ol
I tri ed my best to get it right
And di ed at every du el
This mo untainside is suicide
This dre am will never wo rk
Still the si gn upon my headstone write
"A cha mpion of the wo rld"
Yeah I tri ed my best to stay alight
Fly li ke a firewo rk
I tri ed my best at taking flight
But my ro cketship reve rsed
Oh re feree don't stop the fight
Everyo ne can see I'm hu rt
But I'll sta nd before conquistadors
Til I'm cha mpion of the wo rld
(When I sa il) And when I sail
I'm sailing we st
(Though I might fa il) Knowing I might fail
But still I am ho ping for the be st
(In my dre ams) And in my dreams
Onto my che st
She'll pin the colours a nd say
"I wandered the whole wide world but
Baby yo u're the be st"
So I'm fly ing on my bicycle
Heading u pwards from the E arth
I am ju mping with no parachute
Out i nto the unive rse
I have E .T. on my bicycle
Because gi ving up won't wo rk
I am ri ding on my rocketship
And I'm cha mpion of the wo rld
