Master Of Sparks Lyrics - Tres Hombres - Zz Top

High class Slim came floatin' in 

down from the county line. 

Just gettin' right on Saturday night, 

ridin' with some friends of mine. 

They invited me just to come and see 

just what was on their minds 

and then I took my first long look 

at the Master of Sparks on high.

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

In the back of Jimmy's Mack 

stood a round steel cage 

welded 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 fly 

if that thing ever hit the ground. 

Slim was so pleased when I had eased 

into his trap of death. 

He had slammed the door but I said no more 

and I thought I'd breathed my last breath. 

We was out in the sticks down Highway Six 

and the crowd was just about right. 

The speed was too, so out I flew 

like a stick of rollin' dynamite.

When I hit the ground you could hear the sound 

and see the sparks a country mile. 

End over end I began to spin 

but the ball started runnin' wild. 

But it was too late as I met my fate 

and the ball started gettin' hot. 

But through the sparks and the flame I knew that the claim 

of the Master of Sparks was gone.
