The Sun Goes Down (Living It Up)

[Verse 1: Mike Lindup]
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

[Chorus: Mike Lindup]
(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

[Bridge 1: Mark King]
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 to 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"

[Verse 2: Mike Lindup]
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

[Chorus: Mike Lindup]
(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

[Bridge 2: Mark King]
So I'm a-taking you out, but I'm a-faking
I'm married to the beat, 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 the people stare, it's the shock of the new
I want my friends to see me standing next to you

[Instrumental Break]
(The sun goes down)

[Verse 3: Mike Lindup]
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

[Chorus: Mike Lindup]
(Living it up, living it up) I can feel it
(Living it up) I got forward motion

[Bridge 3: Mark King]
Ooh, watch her dance
There must be one like her in every club in every town
But I don't mind, that's the way she wants to be
There something 'bout her that reminds me of me
She's my soulmate, we'll be together 'til the sun goes down

[Instrumental Break]
(The sun goes down)

[Chorus: Mike Lindup]
(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

[Chorus/Outro]
(Living it up, living it up)
(The sun goes down)
(Living it up, living it up)
(The sun goes down)...
