Benjamin Madeira - A RUNNER'S HIGH

Ich bin's
Uhum
Uhum
The skies are bright
And days go by
When I was born
My mum caressed me with her gaze
She was so happy
She couldn't help but smile for days
As for my dad, such a glad lad
He has enlarged his pens
To others, he would wish no bad
He and I are best pals
On our farm are porkers
And many piglets that suckle
Most of them are good
But nasty pigs get into trouble
Many times, around I go, and go
Wishing I won't fall, won't fall
Running high and even low
Excitingly kicking balls
The ball sticks to my feet
As I get a runner's high
A feeling, sweet, so sweet
As the seconds go by
BOOM, a goal I score
The keeper left in shock
Angry players now scorn
Ready to fight, to knock
Now, who dares brawl?
Take ya down a notch
A winner, I stand tall
On top, take me off
Let's talk about the very essence of the game itself
Now, THAT'S entertainment!
This lad can open a can of beans
With his very own eyes!
If you had twin siblings
They would stand in a ring
Spread their wide wings
Together you could swing
They say an older brother
Equals to no truce
But another I wouldn't choose
Besides, we love each other
Tried my hand at business
I called it "Flakes"
Sold chips at a steep price
Millionaires, I will rake
As a baby, I didn't hate fish
Nor 'chili con carne'
"Bring me another dish
No scales," was my wish
The ball sticks to my feet
As I get a runner's high
A feeling, sweet, so sweet
As the seconds go by
BOOM, a goal I score
The keeper left in shock
Angry players now scorn
Ready to fight, to knock
Now, who dares brawl?
Take ya down a notch
A winner, I stand tall
On top, take me off
Now, this player is the
TOTAL PACKAGE of what it means
To be an effective footballer
You don't have to be a genius
To see the sheer talent of this unique entertainer!
The skies are bright
And days go by
Bright
You are so bright
Bright
You are so bright
BOOM, a goal I score
The keeper left in shock
A winner, I stand tall
On top, take me off
We go to the stadiums
Slap our hard-earned money
Down on the ticket counter
To see REAL footballers
And their fantastic performance!
The unique craft of the entertainer
Provides us with a rare glimpse of their talent
By which they bring us smiles and roaring cheers
From all over the stadium
What a sight to see!
