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
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 "Jerry, 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 Jerry Lee Lewis?"
She said: "Oh Jerry, 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

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
