Catch Me if You Can
(But while...) Pummel out the sun... (Get my...) Cumin' out to stun... (But while...) Your chance is none... (Get my...) Nothing can be done... Catch me if you can... (Can... can....) (But while...) There's no turnin' back! (Get my...) Reach but never catch! (But while...) You can't fathom that! (Get my...) Wonders you can't have! (Take the world...) There's no turning back! (Change the world...) Reach but never catch! (Break the world...) You can't fathom that! (Make the world...) Wonders you can't have! Catch me if you can... (Can... can....) (Jet the Bird, Jet the Bird...) There's no turnin' back! (Sky time, sky time...) Reach but never catch! (Jet the Bird, Jet the Bird...) You can't fathom that! (Sky time, sky time...) Wonders you can't have! There's no turnin' back... Reach but never catch... You can't fathom that... Wonders you can't have! So catch me if you can, when you're born to dream And a wolf from a scene, but we never could reach Airtime max, on the random V Like life, rock bottom, it's the bloody scene One by two, I stuck in the vanity Hawk tail, wing, call, through a heaven center, Jessie is speed Speed rush, sweet to a melancholy victory No chance to understand... Catch me if you can! Catch me if you can! Catch me if you can! Catch me if you can! Only if you can! (Jet the Bird...) Pummel out the sun... (Sky time...) Cumin' out to stun... (Jet the Bird...) Your chance is none... (Sky time...) Nothing can be done... No one here, in my class of heap. The ruler of the winds could never be beat! Don't mess, don't mob, you're put to test, Like Jet, as hawk, I'll ride in your nest! I never come down, high, low, A breath on my chimney with wings enthroned. Jet, fly, hawk, the sky is me, All for the speed I was born to be! Take the world! There's no turnin' back... (there's no turnin' back...) Change the world! Reach but never catch... (reach but never catch...) Break the world! You can't fathom that... (you can't fathom that...) Make the world! Wonders you can't have... (wonders you can't have...) (But while...) Pummel out the sun! (Get my...) Cumin' out to stun! (But while...) Your chance is none! (Get my...) Nothing can be done! Chaos and the Emeralds, life as a feneral, Whatcha' gonna do when nothing is perpetual? World domination, the best technology; Haven't got the interest in that former glory. Put me in the air and my speed will lead, All in the shine like a miracle weed! I just won't stop till the treasures of me, Set it before I was born to be! (Take the world!) Pummel at the sun! (Chase the world!) Cumin' out to stun! (Break the world!) Your chance is none! (Make the world!) Nothing can be done! Catch me if you can...
