Thirty odd years before on some grass covered wasteland,
A boy is observed on his own who is watching and playing.
He's just made a pact with himself,
If that rabbit over there
Doesn't go down yonder hole,
Let the ground beneath him disappear.
And it runs on past,
Fades away in the distance
But the earth doesn't move, nobody thought that it would.
He makes bets and pledges again and again.
Sometimes he wins, sometimes he loses, no matter,
Some might call him stupid
To tempt fate in this way,
But he really does believe in it
Each time the rules are made
There he goes again,
'If I never fall for a lady then Let me famous, let me be wise -'
Now this one I like,
It has a different ring,
Instead of something trivial
That's a serious undertaking.
So I say to you,
This time I think I'll act,
I'll be a witness to this contract,
I'll settle everything.
