intro
A B
He won the race
C
The judges concluded
D
He was the better man
E F
He'd come for victory
A
Ah ah
A A B
A hesitate
C
A one time show and place
D
Himself would not allow
E F
He had to be the best
A B
Ah ah
C D
He had denied
E F
His urges cause they would have drained his strength
G H
The battle had been won, with side effects a few
I J
He may have dropped the world
K L
He would not let us down
M N O P
I hope she's in a better place
A B
She aced the test
C
A grade above the rest
D
She set the curve
E F
A ninety-three percent
A B
Was not enough to feed her fix
C
She needs a perfect score
D
Endorphin rush she loved
E F
It would opiate her
A B
Ah ah
C D
She had denied
E F
All allegations of her loneliness
G
That battle had been won
H
With scars still under wraps
I' J'
She may have dropped the world
K' L'
She would not let us down
M' N'
Endorphin rush she loved
O' P'
She may have dropped the world
