I wanna be quick, move at light speed, never grow up, never come down
I wanna be small, walk with small feet, treading the space just above ground
Quick as I can, quick as a cat, quicker than sand, quicker than that
I wanna be young, wanna be beautiful, making a small beautiful sound
Albert Einstein was never good at math
But he found time down a curving path
The faster you go, the slower you grow, the less that you have to fall
The faster you go, the slower you grow, until you weigh nothing at all
nothing at all, nothing at all
I wanna have girth, I wanna have mass, it’s the new weight-loss plan
I wanna run free, wanna run fast, go on and catch me if you can
Quick as a shark, quick as a blink, quick as a thought, quicker than you think
I wanna be scarce, out of sight, I am light’s biggest fan
Albert Einstein was never good at math
But he found time down a curving path
The faster you go, the slower you grow, the less that you have to fall
The faster you go, the slower you grow, until you weigh nothing at all
nothing at all, nothing at all
Richard Petty, Richard Petty, Richard Petty. Ain’t got nothing on me
I wanna be quick, move at light speed, never grow up, never come down
I wanna be small, walk with small feet, treading the space just above ground
Quick as I can, quick as a cat, quicker than sand, quicker than that
I wanna be young, wanna be beautiful, making a small beautiful sound
Albert Einstein was never good at math
But he found time down a curving path
The faster you go, the slower you grow, the less that you have to fall
The faster you go, the slower you grow, until you weigh nothing at all
nothing at all, nothing at all
