Lyrics

(Emerson, lake, sinfield)

I was "master faster", I was "mr. mystery"
There wasn't a mortal man was gonna make a monkey out of me
I had reflex, action, first strike capability
So high - so tall - so far to fall

I took my time, my life was all without a cause
Till she came bursting through the frontdoor of my heart
Just like the signs that say i'll follow by a star
Once more, no blame, i'm far, no name

Too much, too soon, a touch of moon
A burst balloon, so far, so far to fall
Ooh she had me, she had me running rings around the floor
She had me nailed to a door, she had me crying out
She had me crying out for more, more, more, more, more, more, more
She bad me, she tied me up in knots like a piece of a string
She did a thing to my thing, she did a thing to my thing
Like it's never been done before

Too much ..

I saw stars, in the night, I was hers, I was high
I had so far to fall, such a long way to fall
And I fell and I fell and I fell ------

So if you're "master blaster" or you're "mr. mystery"
Don't think you're insulated from love's electricity
There'll be no escape for you, there was no escape for me
So high - so tall - one night you're bound to fall
