A/N: The reviewer Breana asked for Mario to sing "Breakaway" by Kelly Clarkson, and I instantly thought of the game Wrecking Crew and Mario's early years in Brooklyn, and then the line in the song about "buildings with a hundred floors" just screamed Donkey Kong and sealed the deal. Hope you enjoy!
Breakaway
Dadada n'da da
Dadada n'da da
Dadada n'da da da
Grew up in a big town
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare at the storm drain
Dreaming of what's down there
And all the fluids pipes bear
I would wait
Trying hard to make more
But all I see are closed doors
Felt like no one would hire me
Wanted my career here
Got my girl and bro here
Couldn't wait, had to break away
I'll raise my wrench and I'll learn all the pipes
I'll do what it takes 'til bricks are my sky
And I'll make a wish
Get a job
Raise buildings
And climb away
Above the darkness and under the sun
Biding my time 'till I do what I love
I'll play it safe
Make some cash
Save it up
And breakaway
Dadada n'da da
Dadada n'da da
Dadada n'da da da
Standing on the eye-beams
Looking down on buildings
Something's still missing up here
Know it won't be the same
Breathing in the methane
Far below, I gotta go
I'll raise my wrench and I'll learn all the pipes
I'll do what it takes 'til bricks are my sky
And I'll make a wish
Punch my card
Raise hammers
And build away
Longing for darkness while I'm in the sun
This isn't so bad but it's not what I love
I'll keep my dreams
Level grind
Save my games
And breakaway
Building with a hundred floors
Lookin' like hundreds more
But a gorilla's got my lady
So gotta keep climbing up, climbing up
Save the day, breakaway
I've raised my wrench and I've learned all the pipes
I've done what it takes and now bricks are my sky
I had to save my girl
Trashed the place
Get fired
To breakaway
Into the darkness and out of the sun
Bringing along the brother that I love
We gotta take a risk
Fix the flange
Stem the flood
And breakaway
Breakaway
Breakaway
