Lyrics
Galloping Gerdy
Topped off in clouds
Gleaming down from her steely beams
She beckons you off
But nature's tearing at her seams
Don't look down, drive ahead
The tightrope test your faith instead
Spanning the void
Mother of invention
Roadway to run
And paved with good intentions
A little wind, a little luck
She starts to sway, she starts to buck
And they run to higher ground
Galloping Gerdy's comin' down!
Yeah, yeah!
A little wind, a little luck
She starts to sway, she starts to buck
And they run to higher ground
Galloping Gerdy's comin' down!
Danger abounds
Thor still toys with mortal kings
Titanic machines
Make for such a tragic scene
Trial and error come to play
Your perfect world ain't here today!
And they run to higher ground
Herdy Gerdy's comin' down!
No safe haven will be found
When Galloping Gerdy's comin' down!
Down, Down, Down, DOWN!!!
