(voice of evel knievel:) 

"i've got to tell you, 

that you are the last people in the world 

who will see me jump, because i will never, 

ever, ever jump again. i am through." 



i believe that every inch of smooth cement 

upon this earth is sacred 

that he who sees it blur beneath his feet 

will always be one step ahead 

i can see the only way that we can change 

our future is to brainwash and manipulate 

the minds of those who draw the lines 

that form the city scapes 



what moves beyond these walls 

won't get far without abusing all the laws 

i'll tell you why 

we are unsafe at any speed 



you're lost, now shut your eyes 

get ready for another big surprise 

all at once you're blinded by the flashing lights 

a blessing in disguise 

every time you stop to think 

you waste another precious moment 

and every time you draw another breath 

you're one breath closer to the end 



somehow i'll survive - i've got to live 

'cuz that's the only thing that makes me feel alive 

we are unsafe at any speed 



(voice of announcer at gary wells jump:) 

"ninety miles 

an hour - he's up! 22 year old gary wells. he's missed it! 

he's in trouble! he's in trouble! he's down! he's hurt! 

my god - he's not even moving!"
