I've seen so many people come and go

They sell your story on the morning show

You had the best of times

Under the starlight

Now enjoy the rest of life

Here on the dark side

Your shallow routine is a saddening bore

You can't remember what you came here for

You were the fun girl

But now you are the mom girl

You feel invisible to each and every soul

But beyond the lowest low there is a high

And above the darkest cloud there is a sky

Beyond the lowest low there is a high

Above the darkest cloud there is a sky

You gotta keep on moving and don't stop, don't stop

You gotta look ahead you're not done yet

So don't you play dead

Oh, oh, oh

Don't you play dead

You looked in horror as the noose caressed his neck

The lucky fool came down and fell hard on his back

He couldn't tie the knot

He left the job unfinished

His desire to disappear

Was strangely undiminished

But beyond the lowest low there is a high

And above the darkest cloud there is a sky

You gotta keep on moving and don't stop, don't stop

You gotta look ahead you're not done yet

So don't play dead

You gotta keep on moving and don't stop, don't stop

You gotta look ahead you're not done yet

So don't you play dead

Oh, oh

Never give up, never give in

I never give in

You gotta keep on moving and don't stop, don't stop

You gotta look ahead you're not done yet

So don't play dead

You gotta keep on moving and don't stop, don't stop

You gotta look ahead you're not done yet

So don't you play dead

Oh, oh

Don't you play dead

Never give up, never give in

I never give in

Oh, oh
