[Verse 1]
Peacekeeping agents from several futures
They got a warrant out, some judge's letter
What it is I'm going to do, I haven't done
They got their probabilities, but I got something much better

[Chorus]
My Rocket 88, fastest in the land
Crucial, crucial velocity!
My Rocket 88, fastest in the land
Crucial, crucial velocity!

[Verse 2]
People keep saying, "You got to quit all your lying"
But cheating and lying people is all I've ever known
People keep telling me this and that and this and that
'Cause "this and that" people is all they've ever known

[Pre-Chorus]
Does it really matter how it all started?
Does it really matter how it's gonna end?
Reality is getting too damn unpredictable
Unpredictable times call for the reliable friend

[Chorus]
My Rocket 88, fastest in the land
Crucial, crucial velocity!
My Rocket 88, fastest in the land
Crucial, crucial velocity!
Step on it!

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Everybody, everybody keeps telling me
"Neil, you got to quit your low-down ways"
So, I ask them if they have the solution
And they just shake their heads and slowly walk away

[Chorus]
My Rocket 88, fastest in the land
Crucial, crucial velocity!
My Rocket 88, fastest in the land
Crucial, crucial velocity!
My Rocket 88, fastest in the land
Crucial, crucial velocity!
My Rocket 88, fastest in the land
Crucial, crucial velocity!
