Though I live on the edge time is on my side
  all the doors to my life are open wide
  just as long as the wheels keep on turning 'round
  I will live for the groove 'til the sun goes down
  
  living it up, living it up
  I can feel it
  living it up
  is it a crazy notion?
  living it up, living it up
  I can feel it
  living it up
  I got forward motion
  
  I don't wanna go to war, I don't wanna go to war
  I said I know what I want and I don't wanna go war - do you follow me?
  I saw a soldier standing in a bar
  looked so tired he'd come so far
  he said "I need to love someone, before they drop the atom bomb"
  
  there's a girl at the back making eyes at me
  and her hair long and black is a sight to see
  but I get kind of scared when love's around
  I just live for the groove 'til the sun goes down
  
  living it up, living it up
  I can feel it
  living it up
  is it a false emotion?
  living it up, living it up
  I can feel it
  living it up
  I got forward motion
  
  so I'm a-taking you out but I'm a-faking
  I'm married to the beat
  but to the music I gave the heart I could have given you
  still there's something 'bout the way that you move
  and the way that people stare it's the shock of the new
  I want my friends to see me standing next to you
  
  the sun goes down . . .
  
  time is on my side
  I don't care what they say I'll enjoy the ride
  but I get kind of scared when I turn around
  so I'll stay with the groove 'til the sun goes down
  
  living it up
  living it up
  I can feel it
  living it up
  I got forward motion
  
  ooh - watch her dance
  there must be one like her in every club in every town
  but I don't mind if that the way she wants to be
  there's something 'bout her that reminds me of me
  she's my soulmate - we'll be together 'til the sun goes down
  
  the sun goes down
  
  living it up
  living it up
  I can feel it
  living it up
  I got forwand motion
