A late night laboratory
I was by myself
Lightning struck the contents
Of a crowded shelf

Chemicals that bathed me
Made my heart rate soar
Like a speed freak
They don't call me "Old Pokey" anymore

I jog around the racetrack
Past the cars I dash
Dance between the raindrops
Never getting splashed

With lightning bolts on crimson tights
I fight crime as the Flash
You can't see me
All you see is my smoke trail out the door

Can't pass me by, don't even try, you'll only lose
Cause no one's faster without rocket shoes
If need arise, I'll heed your cries
Way before the echo dies
Can't pass me by, don't even try

The Man of Steel once challenged me
To a global spin
It was for a good cause
So I let him win

And while I was on the run
I hauled some bad guys in
I said don't mind me, I'm passing time
Just waiting till you begin

Can't pass me by, don't even try, you'll only lose
Cause speeding scarlet defeats super blues
You'll only see the back of me
I'm as rapid as can be
Can't pass me by, don't even try

Can't pass me by, don't even try, you'll only lose
Second position's the best you can choose
If you should fall, just give a call
I'll come right through the wall
Can't pass me by, don't even try
