The Olympian

We thought we’d cross the oceans higher
We thought we’d get to that final line
Now we’ve got these things in our way
I’ve got the feeling that we don’t wanna stay

And all the banners, all the flags
And all the banners, all the flags
say, Hey, hey, look at this man
Hey, hey, he’s Olympian (oh oh oh)

Let’s go into the dream that stole
Let us carry on with that fantasy
Until we see other losing posts
Let us carry on with humble boasts

And all the banners, all the flags
And all the banners, all the flags
say, Hey, hey, look at this man
Hey, hey, he’s Olympian (oh oh oh)

Now we’ve met the hostility
Now we’ve met the gratitude
Carried the banners and the flank
They lay together while we sank

And all the banners, all the flags
And all the banners, all the flags
say, Hey, hey, look at this man
Hey, hey, he’s Olympian
Hey, hey, look at this man
Hey, hey, he’s Olympian (oh oh oh)

Hey, hey, look at this man
Hey, hey, he’s Olympian (oh oh oh)

Hey, hey, look at this man
Hey, hey, he’s Olympian
Hey, hey, look at this man
Hey, hey, he’s Olympian (oh oh oh)
