The Fastest Man in the World

The fastest man in the world The fastest man in the world The fastest man in the world I don't remember at all where we first met I don't remember quite how But his deception I just can't quite forget There was no pinning him down You heard his feet on the stairs and down the hall It was a terrible blow He left no note or an IOU at all...

The fastest man in the world The fastest man in the world The fastest man in the world He jumped the train and he slipped into the night He left with all of your trust He'd run for cover from any passing lover And all you'd get to see is the dust Where is he now, where is he now?
