Better Not Look Down |
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 |
