| I’ve been around and I’ve seen some things
|
| People moving faster than the speed of sound
|
| Faster than the speeding bullet
|
| People living like Superman
|
| All day and all night
|
| And I won’t say if it’s wrong or if it’s right
|
| I’m pretty fast myself
|
| But I do have some advice to pass along
|
| Right here in the words of this song
|
| Better not look down
|
| If you want to keep on flying
|
| Put the hammer down
|
| Keep it full speed ahead
|
| Better not look back
|
| Or you might just wind up crying
|
| You can keep it moving
|
| If you don’t look down
|
| An old girl friend of mine showed up the other day
|
| That girl have lived in love and for love
|
| And over love, and under love all her life
|
| If the arrows from cupid’s bow that had
|
| Passed through her heart had been sticking
|
| Out of her body she would have looked like
|
| A porcupine, and she asked me
|
| B.B. do you think I’ve lived my life all wrong?
|
| And I said: The only advice I have to pass
|
| Along is concealed in the chorus of this song
|
| Girl
|
| Better not look down
|
| If you want to keep on flying
|
| Put the hammer down
|
| Keep it full speed ahead
|
| Better not look back
|
| Or you might just wind up crying
|
| You can keep it moving
|
| If you don’t look down
|
| I was walking down the street at sunrise one morning
|
| In London, England
|
| And there was a very large Rolls Royce Limousine
|
| Pulling slowly along the street
|
| And in that Rolls Royce was the Queen of England
|
| Looking tired
|
| Just go back from a party, and the Queen leaned out and
|
| She said: Aren’t you B.B. King? |
| She said:
|
| Oh B.B., sometimes it’s so hard to pull things together
|
| Could you tell me what you think I ought to do?
|
| And I said:
|
| You better not look down
|
| If you want to keep on flying
|
| Put the hammer down
|
| Keep it full speed ahead
|
| Better not look back
|
| Or you might just wind up crying
|
| You can keep it moving
|
| If you don’t look down
|
| You better not look down
|
| If you want to keep on flying
|
| Put the hammer down
|
| Keep it full speed ahead
|
| Better not look back
|
| Or you might just wind up crying
|
| You can keep it moving
|
| If you don’t look down
|
| You better not look down
|
| If you want to keep on flying
|
| Put the hammer down
|
| Keep it full speed ahead
|
| Better not look back |
