| I'v been around and I'v 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'tsay if it'swrong or if it'sright | |
| I'l 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 |
