ZZ Top - Master Of Sparks Lyrics
High class slim came floatin inDown from the county line.Just gettin right on saturday night,Ridin with some friends of mine.They invited me just to come and seeJust what was on their mindsAnd then I took my first long lookAt the master of sparks on high.In the back of jimmys mackStood a round steel cageWelded into shape by slim,Made out of sucker gauge.How fine, they cried, now with you inside,Strapped in there safe and sound.I thought, my-o-my, how the sparks will flyIf that thing ever hit the ground.Slim was so pleased when I had easedInto his trap of death.He had slammed the door but I said no moreAnd I though Id breathed my last breath.We was out in the sticks down highway sixAnd the crowd was just about right.The speed was too, so out I flewLike a stick of rollin dynamite.When I hit the ground you could hear the soundAnd see the sparks a country mile.End over end I began to spinBut the ball started runnin wild.But it was too late as I met my fateAnd the ball started gettin hot.But through the sparks and the flame I knew that the claimOf the master of sparks was gone.
