|
I was prowling in the dark |
|
It was a game of chance i played |
|
Thought i had the vital spark |
|
Tired out i was in this cascade |
|
When truth began to dawn on me |
|
Backing the wrong horse one decade |
|
On floating ice so endlessly |
|
A tug-of-war in this grand charade |
|
See how the land lies |
|
Welcome the sunrise |
|
Farewell to the disguise |
|
Mark my words and never say die |
|
(chorus) |
|
On top of the world |
|
On the edge of sheer heaven |
|
Believe in this red-letter-day |
|
Life comes to light |
|
By no means it ain`t over |
|
The flowering time has begun |
|
(you'll be there) |
|
You`ll be on top of the world |
|
Nothing venture, nothing have |
|
Clearing the figments of the mind |
|
Never walking this way half |
|
Beating the air and one eyed blind |
|
Redress the balance |
|
Come take this mere chance |
|
Fall into this romance |
|
The scale will fall from your eyes |
|
(chorus) |
|
Wild horses won`t drag me back on the track |
|
Cause i`ve got the hang of it now |
|
A flash in the pain |
|
As sound as a bell |
|
The odds are in my favour now |
|
(chorus) |
|
(b-chorus) |
|
Top of the world uh-uh-uh-uh |
|
Heaven is here sheer heaven is here |
|
Why not believe so will you believe |
|
This glory day we're on top |
|
Top of the world so we are on top |
|
Heaven is here so heaven is here |
|
Why not believe and when life comes to light |
|
You'll be there you'll be on top of the world |
|
Top of the world |
