* Paradise in distress
* Last blast of the century
He was young
when I first saw
him
(maybe) 19 or so
And I knew he would go places
He'd never
dreamt he'd go
There was a certain something
Impossible to hide
Dynamite in both his
hands
It swept ‘em all aside
So they nicknamed hem the killer
And
he lived up to the name
The guys that tried to fight him
Never came out quite the
same
And man, the crowd just loved him
In those up and coming days
Carried him on their
shoulders
While they showered him with
praise
Well, they loved him like a
brother
Cause he gave ‘em all the thrills
Carin' shit about no
sef-defense
Only going for the kill
He took a beating now and then
But stood there young
and tough
Never thought of backin' up
When the going got too rough
He came down like a
shockwave
The title easily won
He just tore in there man, punching
Taking two and
landing one
But that avalanche of punches
Eventually took it's toll
Like a constant drip
of water
Wears down the hardest stone
And we all saw it comin'
The inevitable
fall
The night he lost his title
And the title wasn't all
He just started
slippin'
Down skids slicker than grease
His drawing power faded
And the hero-worship
ceased
But he couldn't stop the fighting
Custom-made for the trade
While he blew away
the money
On friends succes had made
I saw him fight again last night
I wish I had been
spared
The sight of that poor old wreck
For whom nobody no longer cared
His eyes had
lost their sparkle
His legs hado lost their spring
And it really was pathetic
The way he
stumbled through the ring- | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
