The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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
