[Pt I: Ambition]

Tell me it's wrong for a man to want to be
Much better known and twice as big as World War Three
I've been on my knees, a transition is easy to see
Cause Ambition you're driving me

So big in America, so huge in Japan (Man)
So big in America, I say you gotta get it while you can
My name is all over Albania, all the rage in Iran (and)
Sold out in Australia, I say you gotta get it while you can

Open the door, me and my Tarot hold the key
I may be unsure, but only temporarily!
What will be will be and all the fools agree
That Ambition you're killing me

So big in America, so huge in Japan (Man)
So big in America, I say you gotta get it while you can
My name is all over Albania, all the rage in Iran (and)
Sold out in Australia, I say you gotta get it while you can

[Pt II: Me And My Tarot]

Unfamiliar doorway, crazy figures on the floor
Faces in the hallway staring daggers through the wall
I was at the party but I wished I'd never been
The stranger on the scene, the guest in someone's dream
The room was smaller with the guests pouring in

"Take a card:' they said, "you need your fortune read"
"Take some good advice and leave when you are led"
The Queen of Broken Hearts had come to warm my bed

It was getting later the clocks all stayed the same
Everyone was gathered round to play the party game
Someone shouted "Suicide!", and everybody laughed
The game had gone too far and I drew the Hangman's card
Then they turned the lights back on and left me in the dark

"Take a card" they said, "you need your fortune read"
"Take some good advice and leave when you are led"
The Queen of Broken Hearts had come to warm my bed

We love a hero gone beyond
The reach of our applause -
We scream his name and call "Encore!"

[Pt III: Rev-On]

(Rev-On) It's a big, black highway
(Rev-On) They can say I did it my way
(C'mon Rev-On) I got a monster beneath me
(Rev it along) Gonna smash me to smithereens

I'm after headlines, headlines
Gimme, gimme them headlines, headlines
"Golden Boy Rides Bike Off Inter-State One-Five
No Chance Of Coming Out Alive
Poor Kid Was Cut Off In His Prime"
Almost A Legend In His Time

Red light (Can't come back)
It's green for go, there's rubber on the road
(Too hard) Two wheels and ignition
That's all I know
(Can't come back) One way to Paradise
When you've been bitten by (too damn hard)
By ambition

(Rev-On) You can call me a yo-yo
(Rev-On) But can you tell me a better way to go! No!
(C'mon Rev-on) Wasn't I the wild one
(Rev it along) Like a bullet to oblivion

I'm after headlines, headlines
Gimme, gimme headlines, headlines
"Golden Boy Rides Bike Off Inter-State One-Five
No Chance Of Coming Out Alive
Poor Kid Was Cut Off In His Prime"
Almost A Legend In His Time

Red Light (Can't come back)
It's green for go, there's rubber on the road
(Too hard) Two wheels and ignition
That's all I know
(Can't come back) one way to Paradise
When you've been bitten by (too damn hard)
By ambition

(Can't come back) I just gotta go, it's written on the road
(Too hard) Two wheels and ignition
That's all I know
(Can't come back) one way to Paradise
When you've been bitten by (too damn hard)
By ambition

[Pt IV: The End]

Ambition took care of him right to the end
Ambition, his mother, his wife and a friend
And the end came easy

So the news ran loose, and they called out his name
And the front page put him on Memory Lane
But there was no-one there to see
'Cause the World went up... at three

At the first stroke it will be three o'clock precisely
