Lyrics

Gone at the Speed of Sound
Words and Music © 2005 Henry E. Harris III


What goes up must eventually come back down
Broken heros are a dime a dozen, just take a look around
You better watch out -- don?t fly too close to the sun
Tomorrow you might not be the chosen one

Chorus:
The higher you fly, the faster you fall
In a heartbeat you could lose it all
Pushed from the fame, you burst into flame
And you?re gone at the speed of sound
?gone at the speed of sound

They search the wreckage but there?s not much left to see
Except for those ?where are they now? reruns on the MTV
Someone might ask ?hey, man whatever happened to him??
I just bought his record out of the discount bin

Chorus:
The higher you fly, the faster you fall
In a heartbeat you could lose it all
Pushed from the fame, you burst into flame
And you?re gone at the speed of sound
?gone at the speed of sound

(Solo)

(Bridge)

Chorus:
The higher you fly, the faster you fall
In a heartbeat you could lose it all
Pushed from the fame, you burst into flame
And you?re gone at the speed of sound

The higher you fly, the faster you fall
In a heartbeat you could lose it all
Pushed from the fame, you burst into flame
And you?re gone at the speed of sound
