Top Of The World
Cornerstone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can't stop
I'm just a spoke on a wheel
High on speed, I'm cutting through steel
So close
But yet so far and unreal
I'll analyze the way that I feel

I'll hunger for my needs
I'll be losing all my deeds
I'll be acting like a freak
But I'll race to

the top of the world
And climb the highest stairs
Breathing cold air
On top of the world
Catch me if you dare
You'll have a fair share

One shot
Of dust won't break my machine
I'm fed with clean gasoline
Too fast




To live too fast to be seen
You can't beat my steel limousine
