Hey driver, where're we going?
I swear my nerves are showing
Set your hopes up way too high
The living's in the way we die
Comes the morning and the headlights fade away
Hundred thousand people... I'm the one they frame
I've been waiting long for one of us to say
Save the darkness, let it never fade away
Oh in the living daylights
Oh in the living daylights
(In the living daylights)
All right, hold on tight now
It's down, down to the wire
Set your hopes up way too high
The living's in the way we die
Comes the morning and the headlights fade away
Hundred thousand changes... Everything's the same
I've been waiting long for one of us to say
Save the darkness, let it never fade away
Oh in the living daylights
Oh in the living daylights
(In the living daylights)
Oh in the living daylights
(In the living daylights)
Comes the morning and the headlights fade away
Hundred thousand people
I'm the one they frame
Oh in the living daylights
Oh in the living daylights
(In the living daylights)
Set your hopes up way too high
The living's in the way we die
Set your hopes up way too high
The living's in the way we die
