The Sun Goes Down (Living It Up) - Omar, Level 42

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
