    Mr. UniverseLyrics

    From the original lyric sheet for Total Recall. Wording may differ slightly from the released recording.

    Yeah! London calling, but a different tone this time Not a lesson, but a reckoning, a legendary climb Back on the stage, a different animal, the hunger in my stare Left the doubt in '66, now there's magic in the air! Ten more pounds of purpose, every fiber finely tuned The product of a year of rage beneath a Munich moon They saw a monster, saw a myth, a kid they couldn't name But by the final pose-down, they were screaming out in flame! MR. UNIVERSE! Sound it out, let the letters ring! The youngest ever in the history to do the blessed thing! MR. UNIVERSE! On the pedestal, the vision made so real! This is how the victory, this is how the conquest feels! I promised I'd be back, a promise kept in steel Turned the theory into fact, made the fantasy feel real The judges saw the difference, the fire in the soul The quiet kid from Austria was now in full control They handed me the trophy, the flashbulbs popped and blew But the real prize came after, a message breaking through... "I just got an invitation from Weider... I'm gonna move to America, bye bye" MR. UNIVERSE! Sound it out, let the letters ring! (Yeah!) The youngest ever in the history to do the blessed thing! (told you!) MR. UNIVERSE! On the pedestal, the vision made so real! This is how the victory, this is how the conquest feels!
