lyrics

CANNONBALL

They count their beans
In rows like suited machines,
Although just like Clark Kent when he
Changes identity,
One of them owns an
Alternate persona
And leather jeans.
Cannonball! Cannonball!

Hear that sound
Shake the ground.
He’s just one little fat man on a Harley,
But he’s got the biggest bike in town.
Cannonball! Cannonball!

Does a ton,
Born to run.
We see one little fat man on a Harley,
He sees James Dean and Brando all in one.
Cannonball! Cannonball!

Not what you seem,
Living the dream.
Polish the chromium,
Pump the petroleum,
Stomp on the starter
And play that toccata
That makes us scream.
Cannonball! Cannonball!

He overcame
His secret shame.
Nobody knows he’s an accountant,
They know him by a different name.
Cannonball! Cannonball!

Tail-light shone,
Then he was gone.
Nobody knows he’s an accountant,
When he has his outlaw leathers on.
Cannonball! Cannonball!
