I was the most beautiful man in the world

I had the most beautiful clock

It seemed to stretch around the block

On the track, time slipped back

The world forgot my victory lap

Tiger features cragged away

And now I am the shadow man

I was the most beautiful man in the world

I earned the most beautiful scars

Crashing all the most beautiful cars

Nought to sixty in six seconds

Christ it only felt like seven

Round the track and in the sack

And now I am the shadow man

I was the most beautiful man in the world

Girls and cars, bars, guitars

I thought it would all last forever

But time ran out, and now in heaven

I am the shadow man

I was the most beautiful man in the world

I had the most beautiful clock

Tick, tock, tick, tock

Girls, girls, girls, girls

Tick, tock, tick, tock

The shadow man

But now I am the shadow man

Girls, girls, girls, girls

Now I am the shadow man

Girls, girls, girls, girls

Tick, tock, tick, tock

But now I am the shadow
