BACKSTREET KID So I fell into the river and the river ran deep Now I promise to deliver my maiden speech (Backstreet kid) In space there is a future (Backstreet kid) No waiting for permission So I take a fast track bus to the outskirts of the city Gonna kick the red dust into the long grass It's gonna look so pretty pretty pretty - yeah! Forgive me if I miss your name this time around I got irons in the fire, yeah, heavy the crown (Backstreet kid) This station kinda suits ya (Backstreet kid) From Whitehall to submission... No No no no So I take a fast track bus to the outskirts of the city Gonna kick the red dust into the long grass It's gonna look so pretty pretty pretty - yeah! It might be diamonds, it might be black gold It could be anything that you wanna hold Pray that you make it to another shore With all good intentions laid at your door So I take a fast track bus to the outskirts of the city Gonna kick the red dust into the long grass It's gonna look so pretty pretty pretty - yeah! (Backstreet kid) Show me the lightning man (Backstreet kid) Somewhere north of Capricorn (Backstreet kid) You got all kinds of flavour (Backstreet kid) Get down with your neighbour (Backstreet kid) You were born to boogie (Backstreet kid) So come and sue me (Backstreet kid) These are the golden years (Backstreet kid) Ah, he don't hear
