Audiophile show

Summary: He was the best athlete in town, they called him The Blue Comet from his high school days He ran the 200 faster than anyone always in Redrick High’s blue uniform His scholarship to Duke was never in danger even when he tore his ACL and gave up running He was just that bright He was just that charming the Blue Comet, he rose up fast VP of his division only four years out of school he got tired of working for the man so he orchestrated a buyout of that same division Now he was his own boss the Blue Comet now sat high up in the sky in a corner office downtown, watching over a city he might one day run Except the Blue Comet has a hard time keeping his spirits high, he asks: why am I luckier than the rest? He doesn’t understand how things can fall in your lap even if you’ve never been on your feet working for them The Blue Comet is dependent on the happy elixir a little too much Dr Jekyll rules the office until 5 Mr Hyde rules the pubs past dusk Nowadays, he looks to earn his love at the brothels on Madison Ave, with cold hard cash to keep the sex hot & steamy The Blue Comet is bound to make a crash landing on earth a place he’s never seen, a side of the track he’s never explored If only he could stay up high forever If only he would realize that God gives in ample amounts here on earth, to those whom he expects will earn it in eternity
