lyrics

Such great speeds can be achieved
when you you use your whole body,
push off of your feet...

White leather wrapped around,
Stitched together, a smile and a frown.
Place your finger, pressure by the pound
can make it go side to side, left or right, up and down...

Doubled over, looking out for signals, waiting for a sign
and then you know...
Standing tall, and rocking back, and kicking forward, lunging down,
and then you throw...

Looks can be deceiving when you're standing in the box...

Such great speeds can be achieved
when you you use your whole body,
push off of your feet...
