The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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

Along in the chorus 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 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:

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
